DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Evening food at a Lower Brailes wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can the van come for the evening?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it is a proper hot meal that guests remember. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
