For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Easton: your questions answered
Is Easton close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Easton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Berkshire. Find your area.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know of any allergies
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Plan for a few extra people
- Plan seating for older guests
Allow time for travel from the service, crematorium or burial ground when choosing a serving time.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wake. We handle the cooking and serving. A wake in Easton in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
