How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. In Hindhead, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
