Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
Send us the date, the address or SO20 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Lunchtime bookings in Chilbolton are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Get permission for the van from the venue
