Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Lewknor questions
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Lewknor?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll work to your timings.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter weddings in Lewknor are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
