We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater team away days and customer days.
For farms and rural sites near Stone, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
Send a message round when the van opens.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss.

- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
