Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
What affects the price in Cambridge Heath
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space and the way in
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In Cambridge Heath, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Details of any power or water on site
Cambridge Heath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
