Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, Bourne End has light until about 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
