For event organisers in Brown Candover
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A clear route to base
- Room for the crew to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
