Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Don’t forget your suppliers
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Takeaway run or book a 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 solves that by cooking on site.
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.

How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. At a December wedding in Marsh Baldon, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
