Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Shalfleet, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
How to get a price

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Events we cater in Shalfleet
It’s hot food on site, whatever the weather, because the cooking is inside the van.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Charity and fundraising days at work
- Summer staff parties
- Staff appreciation days
- End-of-project celebrations
Nearby historic houses include Swainston Manor (2.1 miles south-east) and Mottistone Manor (3.3 miles south). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans.
Questions to ask before booking
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- The van’s size and access needs
- Whether there’s a minimum
