How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Evening food at a Sutton-under-Brailes wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
