Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- Everything cooked to order at your event

FAQs for Great Missenden
We’re gathering after a service at Church of Saints Peter and Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you cover Great Missenden?
Yes, we do. Great Missenden is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- 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.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
