Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let your neighbours know

With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your guests
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. For a late-May party in Golden Green, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
