Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets typically 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:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Put allergy details in writing
- Update numbers if they change
- Agree how the base is left
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.
