Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Put allergy details in writing
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
