Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Sunset in Taplow is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- Service time
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
