How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. At a December wedding in Sarisbury Green, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Working with your venue

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
