It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can the van be part of the photos?
