Book the van in North Charford
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a summer wedding in North Charford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time

North Charford: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like North Charford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
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’ll gather.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can the van come to North Charford?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including North Charford and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Usually, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will check access with you and the venue.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. It is our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Count suppliers working late
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
