Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a Bassett Green wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us a contact for the day
