Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Evening food at a Lunsford's Cross wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

What else we do in Lunsford's Cross
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Flag coeliac guests early
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
