Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

Anywhere in PO8 and PO7, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
