Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the space and the way in
