DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For event organisers in Plaistow Green
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the parking spot
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
