Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Questions from Leaves Green
Could you trade in South Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van come to Leaves Green?
We do. We serve events in Leaves Green and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

For wakes in BR2, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. We can serve a wake on streets such as Ashmore Lane and Main Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van.

Where the van can park in Leaves Green

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Leaves Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In summer, a wake in Leaves Green has light until about 9:20pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
