Wedding fish and chip van for Langrish events
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Evening food at a Langrish wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:

After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

DIY versus a fish and chip 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 normally simpler.
