The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Autumn and winter parties in Warmlake get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.

Allergies and dietary needs

- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What affects the price in Warmlake
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
