Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Count suppliers working late
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Fosten Green
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Whether it is evening food for day and evening guests and coastal-themed receptions, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near Fosten Green, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
How it works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a summer wedding in Fosten Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
