Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Consider a pre-order list
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
