Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Will guests take photos at the van?
It generally ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.

- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
