Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Agree how the base is left
Used oil leaves with the van.
A dining area at base helps.
