- Details of any power or water on site
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Access that avoids crowds

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
