The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • The number of meals

  • How far we travel

Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Looking after everyone

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Send round an allergy question
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Book as early as possible for December

Send people out in groups in the cold.

A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

Planning the van’s spot

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • A spot near your guests
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • Lighting nearby for evening events

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What we serve

Organising for someone else?

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

FAQs for Whitehawk

Is Whitehawk close to London?

Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Can the van park in Whitehawk Hill?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

What if we only have street parking?

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Is everything cooked fresh?

It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

How early do Christmas dates go?

Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

How do you handle allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
