Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
FAQs for Wartling

Early in the evening normally works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you have a kids’ option?

Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
