Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. At a December wedding in Barns Green, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
