The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Sunset in New Denham is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

What affects the price in New Denham
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Put allergy details in writing

We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
