Tourner Bury questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Tourner Bury?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you park near the barn?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wedding. In Tourner Bury, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
On the menu in Tourner Bury
- Evening fish and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
