- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- Service time
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Summer fêtes in Murston have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm.

Takeaway run or book a van?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
