For children, there’s sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for summer garden parties and retirement parties.
In a small place like Lower Slackstead, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your party.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
