DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Grayswood
Couples love the relaxed feel: guests in their wedding best queuing for fish and chips makes for memorable photos. For weddings with a seaside feel and barn weddings, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Rural weddings around Grayswood have a magic of their own, 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, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Evening food at a Grayswood wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
