Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
