How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. At a December wedding in Forest Corner, it is dark by about 4:05pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
