What else we do in Burnham
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Send round an allergy question
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Consider a pre-order list
After the last group, we pack up.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
