Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Give us a map or what3words for base
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In December, daylight in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day

What else we do in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. 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 cooks in front of your crew instead.
