DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Evening food generally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
