What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Lunchtime bookings in Longcross are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether travel is included
- A clear list of what’s included
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges

- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
