Food your guests will love

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

How the day works

Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Golden-hour photos in Tattenhoe at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  1. We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
  2. We check access at the venue and send a price.
  3. Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
  4. We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
  5. Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.

Before we arrive

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Get permission for the van from the venue

Allergies and dietary needs

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
  • Do not forget your suppliers
  • Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
  • Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for

Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.

Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

Takeaway run or book a van?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

FAQs for Tattenhoe

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Do we need to provide equipment?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Who clears up?

We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Do you cover Tattenhoe?

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
