Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.

The process
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. A lunch-break van visit in Bishop's Sutton is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
