Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your Christmas party. In December, it is dark in Temple Hill by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Questions from Temple Hill
Which station is closest to Temple Hill?
Dartford station, in Temple Hill itself.
Can the van park in Central Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
Can the van come to Temple Hill?
We do. Temple Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: 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.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Put allergy details in writing
- Keep the queue dry
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
