Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Have a back-up for special diets
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space in front of the hatch
- Access checked by locations
- Clear of the shot and sound
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
