We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. At a December wedding in Bogle, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.

Common questions in Bogle
Is Bogle close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
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.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
