Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Pyrford Village, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Pyrford Village: your questions answered
Can the van park in White Rose Lane?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Pyrford Village close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Will the van be in our photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
