What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Lunchtime staff treats in Blackthorn are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
