Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Bellingdon
We are gathering after a service at St John's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Bellingdon?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
When should evening food go out?
Generally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll work to your timings.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

About the food
