Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in Bulstrode Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It usually ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
