Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Send round an allergy question
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
