Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Bodle Street Green
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. For vow renewals and anniversaries and pre-wedding get-togethers, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
A wedding in a small place like Bodle Street Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Common questions in Bodle Street Green
We are gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
