A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your wedding. In Salford, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
