About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Count suppliers working late
- Flag coeliac guests early
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have plenty of guests.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
The process
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. At a December wedding in West Kingston, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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’s fried on the spot.
