- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
FAQs for Emsworth
Can you serve after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Emsworth?
Emsworth station, in Emsworth itself.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
