How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Upper Enham, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.

- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
