Questions from Cadmore End
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary Le Moor?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Cadmore End?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Is short notice a problem?
Wakes are frequently arranged quickly, so ask and we will reply quickly.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How do we estimate numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we will plan with a little extra.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
For event organisers in Cadmore End
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
