- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card

- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Questions from Chessington
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Chessington?
Chessington has its own station: Chessington North station.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.

Do you cover Chessington?

Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
