Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- Access and parking
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
