Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips

Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
