Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

The process

- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
