Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
