The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding. In Barford St Michael, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
