Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
