After a ceremony at a church like The Parish Church of St Mary, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter weddings in Fittleworth 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.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Ask for a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Count suppliers working late
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
