The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a summer wedding in Knights Enham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
