Book the van in Henley Street
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. For a summer wedding in Henley Street, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

FAQs for Henley Street
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Camer Park Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What time is best for the van?
Normally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll work to your timings.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
