Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Questions from Throwley Forstal
Do you come out to small places like Throwley Forstal?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Throwley Forstal?
The closest is Selling station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count suppliers working late
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
