Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy

- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Furzton, it is dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
- The family or funeral director sends us the date, place and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote, without fuss.
- We agree a time to arrive and when food should be ready, allowing for the service running over.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- We pack up when everyone has eaten and leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Mention allergies you know about
- Plan for a few extra people
- Build in time for delays
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
Allow time for travel from the service, crematorium or burial ground.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
