Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A spot near your staff
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
