Is A Food Van A Good Option For My Wedding?


What Are The Advantages Of A Food Van Compared To A Normal Caterer?

Six Reasons To Choose A Food Van For Your Wedding

A Food Van Is A Cheaper Wedding Catering Option

Provision of Food and Drink at a Wedding is the third most expensive item for a Wedding day after the Venue and the Honeymoon so there are savings to be made if you find alternative cheaper options.

Instead of paying up to £50 per head for your guests to have a meal at a venue, you could find a Food Van offering a service for less than £10 per head, prices not to be sniffed at when you are paying so much for a Wedding Day.

The cost of a Food Van would work out less than a caterer who supplied a full sit down meal, a Mobile Catering Business with a Food Van may have lower costs to enable them to provide a service without compromising on their quality of service.

It is worth bearing in mind that some mobile caterers are ex chefs and others will have gained a good deal of experience in supplying the type of food they cater and will be able to focus on a quality service concentrating on their area of expertise.

Providing a three course sit down meal at a venue may require the use of a full kitchen whereas a Food Van will bring their kitchen directly to you.

The cost of providing a sit down meal will include overheads such as staff required to run the kitchen and serve at tables whereas the Food Van will likely charge a price per head only with no additional overheads.

There may also be charges such as hiring crockery, cutlery, table linens and decorations with a full plated meal which you would not have using a Food Van.

With all this in mind you should find that you can make significant savings on your Wedding budget by switching to a Mobile Caterer with a Food Van, money that you can use elsewhere for your special day.

A Food Van is more adaptable and self sufficient

A Food Van is normally self-sufficient, they bring their kitchen with them and all their equipment and would have no need to use any services indoors apart from perhaps access to electricity and water.

Having all they need within their vehicles there should be minimal disruption from them whilst they are on site keeping out of site in the background whereas a mobile caterer providing a full plated meal may need to use kitchen facilities and be visible to your guests.

Being adaptable you will find a range of types of Food Vans serving a range of foods at your disposal and they can be parked up in a variety of spots that you choose on site so if you wanted to create a Festival Wedding theme for your day they would be a perfect fit.

You may even find that a Food Van Caterer can adapt their menu to your requests which may not be possible with a full plated meal.

A Food Van could be more flexible in terms of timings which might not be allowed at a venue, they could provide that afternoon snack you want or the late night food you want for your guests after the drinks have been flowing for a while.

A Food Van Will Provide The Food You Love

By selecting the onsite catering provided by your venue you may be very limited in the options that you can choose for your Wedding Breakfast and your Wedding Buffet, the venue may not have the expertise to offer a chosen cuisine you love which you could easily find selecting a Food Van instead.

With the limitless options from a Food Van you will be guaranteed to find the food you most want on your special day.

A Food Van can provide freshly cooked food

It is almost certain that a Mobile Caterer operating from a Food Van will cook as they are serving so you will get freshly cooked food no matter how many people are being catered for, a sit down meal may have to be precooked where there are large numbers involved and food often be held instead of being served immediately.

A Food Van will create a less formal atmosphere on your Wedding Day

A sit down meal can be so formal with the tables set and seating plan this option could be deemed a little stuffy for some.

Having a Food Van gives the opportunity for your guests to feel a bit more relaxed with a less formal option, it would encourage people to walk around more and mingle with others instead of having to sit at the same table throughout their meal.

A Food Van is memorable for your Wedding Guests

It goes without saying that by having a Food Van at your Wedding this would be far more exciting for your guests than a serving a sit down meal, it would be a talking point to line up at the Fish and Chip Van or the Ice Cream Van to get your food and kids will almost certainly love the experience of asking for their own food!

In some cases there may be more than one Food Van serving completely different food which gives more choice to your guests to pick from.

These days Festival Weddings are on trend and Food Vans are more in line with this than the traditional sit down meal, with so many unique options to choose for with Vintage Vans and Trailers around these would make more of an impact at a Wedding that your guests will remember for some time after.
