Higher Denham questions
We are gathering after a service at St Mark's Hall: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Higher Denham from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Usually, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
Will the van be in our photos?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
