DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
