How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. For a summer wedding in Brize Norton, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Brize Norton questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Britius: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Brize Norton from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
