Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

At a December wedding in Plummers Plain, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
