Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Put bins near the van
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
What happens on the day
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. For a summer wedding in Palestine, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
