Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can 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 cooks in front of your guests instead.

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Show us where the van would go
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Count children separately
Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
A few lights around the van look great.
