DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. At a December wedding in Salford, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Put bins near the van
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Aspley Guise station, about 1.6 miles south of the centre.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
