Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

Hurst Green questions
Can you serve after a service at Holy Trinity?
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 Hurst Green from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
When should evening food go out?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. It is our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
