Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests usually gather round the hatch once service starts. At a December wedding in Hever, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can the van park by the marquee?

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
