Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a summer wedding in Timsbury, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.

Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
How soon do we need to book?

Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
