Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Put bins near the van
- Count suppliers working late
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At a December wedding in Longlands, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
