Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- The length of service
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, sunset in Guston is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
