Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.

Questions from The Wrythe
Which station is closest to The Wrythe?
Carshalton station, in The Wrythe itself.
Can you serve after a service at Bishop Andrewes Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park near the barn?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
