Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
Can the van come to North Lee?
Yes, we do. We serve events in North Lee and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
