Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Latimer: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Latimer?
The closest is Chalfont & Latimer station, roughly 1 mile away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park near the barn?
Normally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll work to your timings.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Step by step
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Evening food at a Latimer wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
