For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

Buttsole questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Could you trade in Ham Fen?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Buttsole?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
