Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Horley is about 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day

About 69 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, wherever locations agree.
What does it cost to hire the van?

Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
What if we only have street parking?

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 generally simpler.
