Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Fewer choices mean faster service
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
What happens on the day

- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
