Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Flag coeliac guests early
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Which station is closest to Findon Valley?

How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Winter weddings in Findon Valley are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
