Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

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 a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send round an allergy question
Put bins near the hatch.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
