- The minimum booking
- How far we travel

- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. At a December wedding in Clifton, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
