Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding. In Milton Regis, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
