DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Put bins near the van
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
