Food your guests will love
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’s hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put bins near the van
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
