Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease

Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have a lot of guests.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
