Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Plan bins by the hatch
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Pitshanger, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Pitshanger
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Barnabas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Pitshanger?
Castle Bar Park station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
