Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count suppliers working late
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.

Read our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
