How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Friston, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Send round an allergy question
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Consider a pre-order list
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
