Working with your venue

Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

How it works

From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your party. For a late-May party in Sandwich Bay Estate, sunset is around 8:45pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

How to prepare

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
