Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Where will the van go at our venue?

Working with your venue

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
