Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Have a back-up for special diets
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.

A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
