A closer look at the menu

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. In St Clement's, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Tell us when you want to eat
