Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

- Tell us about the pitch
- Display allergens for each stall
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.

Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. For an evening event in Pitch Green, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
