Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us separate numbers for children
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they don’t miss out.
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Eynsham, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
Larger groups usually cost less per head, 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
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
