Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Dorney
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can 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.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. At a December wedding in Dorney, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
