Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. In Park Town, 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
