What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your event.

In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
