Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
