Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evening food at a New Denham wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Flag coeliac guests early
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
