For event organisers in Punnett's Town
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- The length of service
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

- Dietary needs, with numbers

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 cooks in front of your residents instead.
