Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your wedding. Evening food at a Chadwell Heath wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Flag coeliac guests early

- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for

A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
