Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

For event organisers in Cookham Dean
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving.
