DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Finish with the birthday cake.

What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
