Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
