Working with your venue

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Diets, allergies and planning

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

  • Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
  • Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
  • Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs

Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.

A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

  3. Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
  4. On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
  5. We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
