The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Sunset in Ashton Green is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
