This can vary from event to event, but generally speaking for a wedding where your guests have already eaten, it is advisable to allocate ⅔ to a whole pizza per person, and for events where pizza/waffles will be the main food, then we suggest a whole pizza and waffle per person.

We know you’ve got enough to worry about organising for your special day, so we’ve tried to make the process of booking us as straightforward as possible. Simply fill in our event inquiry form, we will then get back to you with a quote outlining everything included in the price, and if you are happy you can pay the 30% deposit to secure your booking, and then the remaining 70% balance just needs to be paid no later than 4 weeks prior to the event.

We offer 2 different packages to suit your event’s needs! The 2 packages are The Dough Package and the most popular, Dough&Desserts Package. You can find full details of each package, as well as price per head, on our pricing page.

Our prices for an event are based on the number of people who we will be catering for. Usually, this will be the number of guests you are having at your wedding/event. The price per head can be found on our pricing page.

No, our price per person is all inclusive with no hidden additional costs.

We can accommodate events within Lincolnshire (please note if your venue is on the outer edges of Lincolnshire we may be unable to cater for you - please include the venue in your inquiry form)

If we have left over dough at the end of the event, we will use it up and make pizzas that will be boxed up for you and your guests to take away/eat later in the night.

As we use a 48 hour dough proofing technique to ensure a soft, crunchy and delicious pizza, and as a result we can’t make more dough/cater for more guests without at least 48 hours of notice. If there will be more guests attending than initially quoted for, please email us at book@doughdesserts.co.uk with an updated number of guests, and we will send an adjusted invoice to reflect this, and also make more dough for your event.

Our standard packages include your choice of 4 pizzas from our set event menu. If you would like to select more pizzas for your event, there is just an additional charge of £2/head for this.

However we can offer a pizza per person as well, these can be served on plates or in boxes (boxes do carry an additional 50p per head charge).

Absolutely - we can cater for vegan, and other dietary requirements however we are unable to offer GF at this time. We do require you let us know in advance in your event inquiry form/by email at book@doughdesserts.co.uk which dietary requirements your guests have and how many of each. Whilst every effort will be made to accommodate these dietary requirements, unfortunately due to the small proximity of our van, we cannot fully guarantee zero cross contamination of ingredients, and as such it will be at the discretion of your guests as to whether they wish to consume our food.

Due to limited space in the van we are unable to offer gluten-free pizza at this time. However we are always happy to accommodate dietary requirements where ever possible so please let us know in your inquiry form and we will do our utmost to provide something suitable.

Our pizzas cook in approximately 90 seconds in our 500 degree oven, so your guests will have a constant supply of fresh, authentic wood fired pizzas.

We need to be at your event 60-90 minutes prior to service to allow time for our oven to be lit and heat up, prepare toppings, etc. We also will need around 30 minutes of time after service to clean up and leave.
