Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- A quote that spells everything out

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In Lyne, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
