Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Give us separate numbers for children
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Old Chiswick is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
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.

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
