For event organisers in Henwood
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Henwood, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
