Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Let your neighbours know
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- A photo of the parking spot helps
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.

Party fish and chip van for your party in East Langdon
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the serving hatch towards the garden. Whether it is children’s parties and christenings and naming days, we can cook gravy, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
In a small place like East Langdon, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
