Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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.
