Book the van in Broadland Row
Should I sort the food myself?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Some venue evening menus are light. Fish and chips fills people up. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we’re ready at the agreed time.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Broadland Row
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Broadland Row?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Usually most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you come to Broadland Row?
We do. Broadland Row is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
When should evening food go out?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, sunset in Broadland Row is about 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
