DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
