FAQs for Bedham
Do you come out to small places like Bedham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It generally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
