Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Flag any coeliac staff
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot near your staff

- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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.
