The process
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Evening food at a Tudeley Hale wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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 your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Why choose a fish and chip van in Tudeley Hale?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
