Planners, venues and businesses

Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Upper Arncott; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We clear our spot and head off.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
