Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
For somewhere as remote as Hulverstone, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
