Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Book as early as possible for December
- Send round an allergy question
- Send allergies to us in writing
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

- The spot you have in mind for the van
