Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Share the base location and route
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- A clear route to base
- Space in front of the hatch
Agar Town is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
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 will work through them with you.

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. At midsummer, Agar Town has light until about 9:20pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Name one person we can call on the day

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 cooks in front of your crew instead.
