A chip van compared with other options
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Evening food at a Butler's Cross wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
