Also, there is a need for an electricity supply. The electricity requirements are 2 x chip pans for the service and will require the main power source. An extension lead is not needed. The ideal time for setting up the van and cooking is about an hour.

I couldn’t recommend these guys more. From the very first message they were helpful in preparing for the event. On the day, they let me know their plans, arrived on time and the food was amazing, most people went back for more despite the generous portions. We will definitely book again for future events.
