Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Put allergy details in writing
- Find out what documents the site needs
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
