Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Show us where the van would go
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
Put the menu up by the van.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
