Wedding fish and chip van in Cutteslowe, cooked to order
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. For wedding after-parties and weddings in a marquee or garden, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
For a smaller place like Cutteslowe, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
