Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Step by step
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. December events in Milton-under-Wychwood lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Share the timings for the day
