Can you go on a lawn or field?

How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.

Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
