Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Do not forget your suppliers
Evening food generally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. For a summer wedding in Northend, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
