Other occasions in Knightwood
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What affects the price in Knightwood
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
