Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding. Evening food at a Bourne End wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.

Which station is closest to Bourne End?

Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
