Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Agree the terms in writing
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Details of any power or water on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
