A fish and chip van or other catering?

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
