Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Questions from Great Linford
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

How soon do we need to book?

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Put bins near the van
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
