Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in North Gorley
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Ascension?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like North Gorley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What time is best for the van?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your wedding. In North Gorley, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, 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 4:05pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
