- Ensure the van can park legally
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
