Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Access that avoids crowds
