How our wedding fish and chip van works in Beenham
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it is most welcome. Typical bookings include marquee and garden weddings and vow renewal parties, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Count suppliers working late
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Beenham is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- 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.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Takeaway run or book a van?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
