Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- The service time, and the cost of running over
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Permission for the van at base
- A clear route to base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
