  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities

Our booking checklist

For event organisers in Swan Bottom

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Space, access and the venue

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

From the hatch

  • Mushy peas
  • Haddock and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Staff lunches

  • Access and parking

What we need to know

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The date and time of the event
  • Where the event is
  • Roughly how many people, including children

Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

The process

We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. A lunch-break van visit in Swan Bottom is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Clear the route for the van
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Plan where the queue will stand
