Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Keep the queue dry
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 usually the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
