What affects the price in Waterend
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. For a summer wedding in Waterend, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
