Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
Allow time for travel from the service, crematorium or burial ground.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
