Should I sort the food myself?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Display allergens for each stall
- Share any nut or allergy policies
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
