A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

Working with your venue
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.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: 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.
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
