Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
