Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Confirm allergies by email
- Find out what documents the site needs
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
A chip van compared with other options
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Lunchtime bookings in Farringdon are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
