Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Agree how the base is left
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
