Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Winter weddings in Lawrence Hill are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

FAQs for Lawrence Hill
We are gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Lawrence Hill from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park near the barn?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lawrence Hill.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
