You Won't Need To Compromise On Your Food Choices

Vintage Fish and Chip Van Hire - How To Handle Dietary Requirements At Your Event - The Hungry Plaice

Guest Dietary Requirements could cause you to feel stressed when you have so many things to organise at your event but it really doesn't need to make you feel like that.

With the rise in awareness in Personal Health more and more people are discovering they have Food Allergies, some people are choosing to follow particular diets to improve their health and others follow diets according to their Religious Beliefs so it is important to be respectful of an individual and their Dietary Requirements.

Reasons For Dietary Requirements

There are reasons why people have Dietary Requirements, these may be where someone has a reaction to food such as;

  • Food Allergies - where someone would have a rapid and serious reaction to a type of food
  • Food Intolerance - a slower reaction to food but is not life threatening
  • Anaphylaxis - a severe and extreme allergic reaction
Some individuals may have a combination of more than one type of Food Allergy.

Common Dietary Requirements


Following are a list of common Dietary Requirements;
  • Nut/Peanut Allergy - extreme reactions to nuts or peanuts
  • Wheat Intolerance - a reaction to rye,barley or oats
  • Coeliac Disease/Gluten Free - autoimmune condition where the body reacts to Gluten
  • Lactose Intolerance/Dairy Free - when the body cannot digest lactose found in milk and dairy products
  • Other Allergies - such as Soy, Eggs and Shellfish
  • Vegetarian - a plant based diet which avoids meat and fish
  • Vegans - a diet excluding meat and fish and all animal products such eggs and dairy
  • Religious Requirements- for example Islam forbids Pork and Halal and Hindus are mainly Vegetarians
Ask Your Caterer To Help

You won't need to change what Food you will be serving at your event just find out what your guests requirements are and get your Caterer to help you.

Don't be afraid to ask your guests you could do this directly or just add it to your RSVP, it is better to find out before your event rather on the day itself and then disappoint someone, if a person has a serious allergy they may even choose to bring their own food but it is nice for you to make the effort and provide food for them f you can.

Every Food Handler is required by Law to have passed a Level 2 Food Safety Course and part of this course is about Food Allergies and so every Mobile Caterer will have procedures to deal with the most common Food Allergies, so if you are unsure speak to your Caterer and just ask for their help they should be able to accommodate your guests needs.

At The Hungry Plaice we have recently introduced a new addition to our fleet Bessie a modern van specifically for certain corporate events which call for a modern van. This contemporary vehicle is equipped with a modern range fryer and will be able to cover long distances effortlessly, allowing us to continue to cater for clients even in far-flung locations! The decision to invest in this high-tech van was driven by the desire to preserve our beloved vintage vans, Betty and Beryl who aged 40 and 38 respectively need to do less travelling in order to keep them on the road for as long as we can. Betty and Beryl have been serving up delicious fish and chips for years, becoming icons of The Hungry Plaice's brand. They hold sentimental value that goes beyond their functionality as food trucks and customers had developed an emotional connection with these charming old-fashioned vehicles. Recognising this sentiment, we have decided it was time to protect Betty and Beryl from excessive wear and tear. By introducing the modern van for corporate events, The Hungry Plaice ensures that Betty and Beryl can get some well-deserved rest while still meeting the demands of commercial catering. The advanced features of the new van enhance efficiency making it easier for the business to accommodate large gatherings and operate in distant venues without straining their classic counterparts. Moreover, the modern van allows The Hungry Plaice to expand its reach into previously untapped markets. With its reliability over long distances, the company can now offer its renowned fish and chips experience at various events across different regions, attracting new customers who may have previously been out of range. Despite taking advantage of cutting-edge technology using this new vehicle, The Hungry Plaice remains committed to maintaining its traditional appeal. Betty and Beryl will continue delighting customers at weddings, private and some corporate events keeping alive the nostalgic charm that has become synonymous with The Hungry Plaice experience.  The decision to incorporate a modern van alongside Betty and Beryl represents a balanced approach between preserving tradition and embracing innovation. As we embark on this exciting chapter of expansion The Hungry Plaice remains dedicated to delivering excellence in our services.
