DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Wood's Corner, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
