Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a late-May party in Peel Common, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Name one person we can call on the day
