Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evening food at a Little Horsted wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
