Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the parking spot
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Agree who removes waste
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Event catering near Frimley Green
