Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- Service time
- How many people are eating
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 event.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
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.
