What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Count suppliers working late
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For a summer wedding in Chaddleworth, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
