In Townhill Park, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a summer wedding in Townhill Park, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Make sure the van can get in

Can the van park in Riverside Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater for allergies?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Evening fish and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
