Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put bins near the van
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Chalkshire, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
