Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. For an end-of-day event in Wells-in-the-Field, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.

Planning help
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
