Questions

Travel to Hockley is included in every quote
Rayleigh, Hockley and Rochford are on the line to London Liverpool Street
How much space does the food van need in Hockley?
We need a reasonably flat spot about the size of two parking bays that the van can reach, on hardstanding or firm grass, with room for a queue. Send us a photo or a map pin and we will confirm it works.
Do you need power or water?
We are largely self-sufficient and cook on our own certified gas. We talk through power and water with you or the venue when we plan the event.
Can guests pay for their own food?
Our main service is pre-paid by the host per guest, which suits weddings and private events. For fêtes and public events, send us the expected numbers and we will discuss options.
How much does food van hire in Hockley cost?
Pre-paid food van service starts from £14 per guest, with a minimum spend of £1,000. Travel from Chelmsford to Hockley is included in your quote.
Do venues in Hockley need a kitchen?
Not at all. Whether it is airport business parks or family homes and gardens in Hockley, we arrive with cooking stations, gas and serving kit and cook on site, so the venue's own kitchen does not matter.
How far ahead should I book for an event in Hockley?
Summer Saturdays and December dates in Hockley book up months ahead, so get in touch as soon as you have a date. For weekday lunches and smaller parties, a couple of weeks is often enough. A 20% deposit secures the date.
