- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. At a December wedding in Pested, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
