Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let your neighbours know
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Ensure the van can park legally
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
