Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wedding. At a December wedding in Caulcott, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
