What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Evening food at a Ivybridge wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Wedding fish and chip van in Ivybridge, fried fresh
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. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for garden and marquee receptions and coastal-themed receptions.
In Ivybridge, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
