Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
Send us the date, the address or SE19 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it’s hot.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. The van comes to the home. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Events in Norwood New Town and across Greater London

For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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 nobody has to miss the care home visit.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
