Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Put bins near the van
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
