- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

- A photo of the parking spot helps
It is worth telling the neighbours.
A few lights around the van look great.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
