For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

Questions from Headley
Do you come out to small places like Headley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
When should evening food go out?
Typically between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll fit your running order.
Can the van come to Headley?
We do. Headley is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
