Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
