The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In Golden Cross, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
