What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For a summer wedding in Cheapside, 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. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive

Cheapside questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Cheapside?
The closest is Ascot station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
What time will you serve?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
