Northbridge Street: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Northbridge Street?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Allow for the service running over
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
We arrive in good time and park discreetly before guests return from the service.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
