The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. For a summer wedding in Holywell, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s 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.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Holywell
How far is Holywell from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
For event organisers in Holywell
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
