Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests normally gather round the hatch once service starts. In Yarnton, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
