Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will fit around your first dance and band.

Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In Leckhampstead, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
