Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Collect allergies in advance
- Give us break and shift times
- Put allergy details in writing
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ickham questions
How far is Ickham from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Ickham?
The closest is Bekesbourne station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
