Popular choices include curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for barn weddings and garden and marquee receptions.

- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Norwood New Town: your questions answered
What about parking in Norwood New Town?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Long Meadow?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What time will you serve?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll work to your timings.
