- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.

Wedding fish and chip van in Etchingwood, cooked to order
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. For engagement celebrations and vow renewal parties, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Etchingwood, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
