Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Agree how the base is left
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. Sunset in Baughurst is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
