How our wedding fish and chip van works in Foscot
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for wedding after-parties and weddings with a seaside feel.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Foscot, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Common questions in Foscot
Do you come out to small places like Foscot?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will fit around your first dance and band.
Will the van be in our photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
What time will you serve?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Evening food at a Foscot wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Occasions we serve in Foscot
It is ideal for outdoor and rustic weddings, where there is room to park the van close by.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Vow renewals and anniversaries
- Evening wedding food
- Pre-wedding get-togethers

After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Leonard, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in.
