How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, it is light in Upper Hartfield until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
