Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
