Planning help
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- What’s available on the pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Somewhere firm if it rains
As a London location, Acton Vale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
