Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Show us where the van would go
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Mention the van to neighbours
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
