Takeaway run or book a van?

How to compare vans

Planning for dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
  • Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
  • Put bins near the van
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs

We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.

A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
