The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. At midsummer, sunset in Coombe is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
