Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Looking after everyone

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • Let us know of any allergies
  • Funeral directors can help with numbers
  • Cater for a few more than you expect
  • Arrange tea and coffee separately

Allow time for travel from the service, crematorium or burial ground when choosing a serving time.

A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.

Planning the van’s spot

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • A short walk from the party
  • A clear area by the serving hatch
