About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Count suppliers working late
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
