Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Arrange an alternative if needed
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
