Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Hadley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
