Should I sort the food myself?
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 shoot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What affects the price in East End of London
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
