Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Details of any power or water on site
- A queue area clear of rides and games
As a London location, Acton Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
