Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Minster Lovell, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:30pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
- Have a level parking spot ready
