Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day

- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Wedding fish and chip van in Froyle, cooked to order

A closer look at the menu

Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Froyle
Is Froyle too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary of the Assumption: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A photo of the area helps.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. At a December wedding in Froyle, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
