Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Arrange bins and waste collection
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Details of any power or water on site
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

A chip van compared with other options
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
