Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Count suppliers working late
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Put bins near the van
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Winter weddings in Burstow are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

A fish and chip van or other catering?
