What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At a December wedding in Afton Park, it is dark by about 4:05pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.

Common questions in Afton Park
Can you serve after a service at St. Agnes' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you serve near the sea around Afton Park?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

Wedding photographers in the area often head for Afton Down. Marrying at St. Agnes' Church? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening. With the coast within about 2 miles, fish and chips suits a seaside-style wedding. We will plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Weddings anywhere in PO40 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. From Manor Road, Newport Road and Southdown Road or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
