There’s something special about a country wedding near Fyfield, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Fyfield, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.

Do you come out to small places like Fyfield?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What time is best for the van?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll fit your running order.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
