Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
Curridge questions
How far is Curridge from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you cover Curridge?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Curridge is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Count suppliers working late
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have a lot of guests.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
