What affects the price in Hedgerley
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in

What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

- The spot you have in mind for the van
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Organising for someone else?

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Confirm allergies by email
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
