Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

- Any minimum charge

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the parking spot
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Lambeth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
