A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

Common questions in Midhurst
How far is Midhurst from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
