Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

- Mention the van to neighbours

- A picture of the parking spot helps
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A few lights around the van look great.
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 nobody has to miss the party.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
