With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, The Wrythe is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
