Should I sort the food myself?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

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 you get to enjoy the day.

What the van needs

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • What’s available on the pitch
  • Firm, level ground for the pitch
  • The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Popular choices

  • Sausage and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Haddock and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Curry sauce
  • Chips

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • Any minimum charge
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Service time

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.

What to tell us

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Where the van would park
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The address or venue name

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.

Step by step

A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Evening events in Brownbread Street have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
