About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For a summer wedding in Midgham Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Midgham Green: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Matthew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Midgham Green?
Midgham station, about 0.9 miles south-east of the centre.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
