If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What affects the price in Woolstone
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
