What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In St Denys, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s 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 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
