Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

FAQs for Mid Holmwood
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Mid Holmwood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Can the van come to Mid Holmwood?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Mid Holmwood is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
