DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding. Evening food at a Netherfield wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day

The menu, dish by dish
