Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
