Add To Event Supplier Spotlight

As a Mobile Catering Business we are listed on a number of websites in order to increase awareness of our Vintage Fish and Chip Vans for hire.

We have provided a Supplier Spotlight and the following questions

What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

In order for us to provide a quote, we would need the event name, type, date, location, start and end time of the event, the estimated number of guests or footfall, the location of the pitch, where the unit would stand, the type of food required and the pitch fees or budget for the cost of the service.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Every mobile caterer should be registered with their local council and have had a food hygiene inspection so you can be assured of their quality standards, they should also have public liability insurance, risk assessments and at least level 2 food safety certification. Look at the setup, the food offered, the service and whether you will be charged setup/travel fees or any extras for sides or condiments. Consider what sort of look are you going for, do you want a modern or vintage looking van or trailer or would a gazebo be more suitable? Does this fit in with the theme you have in mind for your event? Get a good look at the food – check out the mobile caterer’s Add to Event profile, their own website and social media, if you are not sure just ask for more photos so you can make an informed choice, event and wedding food is so vital so invest a bit of time getting this part right. Check that your guests can be served in the time you require and overcome any doubt by researching your mobile caterer, check their reviews and see what past clients have said and ask questions if you need to.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

Running our own business was once just a dream, it was always something we wanted to do but then life took over. The opportunity arose when we were made redundant from our jobs and we have never looked back! It has changed our lives and it is amazing to travel around and cater to so many events meeting so many lovely people!

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.
