Yattendon questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Yattendon is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

Before booking anyone
- Payment terms and deposit
- How many hours the van serves
- The van’s size and access needs
- When final numbers are due
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
