How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wedding. In Drellingore, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planners, venues and businesses

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirmation that the van can park there
