For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. 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 will work through them with you.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Bakers Arms is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 guests instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
