For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Plan lighting near the hatch
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- The number of meals
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space and the way in
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Questions from Grendon Underwood
How far is Grendon Underwood from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Grendon Underwood?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
