We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you come to a street party?
Frequently, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, generally. Let us know numbers and ages.
