Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Questions from Somers Town
What’s the nearest station to Somers Town?
Somers Town has its own station: London Euston station.
Is parking a problem for the van in Somers Town?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Food early on is usually wise, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
