For a smaller place like Osney, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Other occasions in Osney
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
