DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Put bins near the van
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
