Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Plan bins near the queue
- Fewer choices mean faster service

It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
