How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Evening food at a Northmoor wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Wedding fish and chip van in Northmoor, fried fresh
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. For barn and farm weddings and weddings with a seaside feel, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Rural weddings around Northmoor have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch

FAQs for Northmoor
How far is Northmoor from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Northmoor?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
