How our wedding fish and chip van works in Hook
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for coastal-themed receptions and barn weddings.
In Hook, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. At a December wedding in Hook, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
