Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Late September evenings in Hatchet Green lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Count children separately
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
