The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter weddings in Ballinger Common are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
