Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Questions from Hellingly
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Hellingly?
The closest is Polegate station, roughly 4.3 miles away.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening usually works best. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we will send a quote.
How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in Hellingly in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
