DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
Send us the date, the address or RG42 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
