Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The location’s agreement

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Share the base location and route
- Agree how the base is left
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
We take our used oil and waste with us.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
