It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
