Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Check the van can park on site
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests
Send people out in groups.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
