Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. 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. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
