Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Do not forget your suppliers
Evening food normally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In West Burton, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Questions from West Burton
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of the Holy Cross: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like West Burton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
