Takeaway run or book a van?
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 usually simpler.
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.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first

- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
