For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
