What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, which we agree with you beforehand. For a staff lunch in Fratton, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
Send a message round when the van opens.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
