Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
