Planning help
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
