Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
