Planning for dietary needs

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

  • Let someone else talk to us on the day
  • Mention allergies you know about
  • Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
  • Have chairs for those who need them

Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.

A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Should I sort the food myself?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Space, access and the venue

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

From the hatch

  • Sausage and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Haddock and chips
  • Gravy

Browse the menu

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
