How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Evening food at a Benover wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
