Food your guests will love
Cod and chips

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Put allergy details in writing
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
A few lights around the van look great.
