Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges

How the day works
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. At a December wedding in Black Bourton, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Common questions in Black Bourton
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Black Bourton from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
