DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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 nobody has to miss the shoot.

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

What affects the price in Sutton Wick
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve

- The minimum booking

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

We only need a few details to quote: 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.
