We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?

Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
