Wedding Catering At The Hungry Plaice

Wedding Catering...


This has always been a big expense for any couple looking to get married, some venues insist on using In House Catering whilst others are a little more relaxed about who you can hire to come in and provide catering for you.


Traditionally there is the Wedding Breakfast which is normally the sit down meal at tables with people served and then the Evening Buffet with food laid out for people to help themselves but things have changed and we are seeing a rise in couples wishing for something different.

At The Hungry Plaice we have catered for Wedding Breakfasts, Evening Buffets, Wedding Rehearsal Dinners and even the morning after a Wedding to provide Breakfast for those that stayed over (and stayed up really really late!) all from our Vintage Fish and Chip Vans.

This shift in the Wedding Market is reflective of the different Venues that gain Wedding Licenses that are available to hire who do not always provide Wedding Catering. 

There are Wedding Barns, Teepees (or Tipis depending on how you spell them), Country Houses and Unique Sites check out the list I found on hitched 


or for some unique spots try https://trulyquirkyweddingvenues.co.uk/

The majority of the time we are booking directly with clients themselves who must gain approval from their venue to ensure we are allowed to cater on site, this has not ever been an issue for venues in fact we are also being booked directly with Wedding Venues who are taking over the organising from their clients and employing us directly this is helping us build repeat bookings with venue providers and also provide more competitive rates.

If you are a Wedding Venue and you are interested in having us as a preferred supplier please let us know!

We have recently started to add a list of Suppliers that we are working with and meeting when we are on our travels so please check out our Suppliers Page to see if any of the listed businesses can cover other Catering needs that you might have.

At The Hungry Plaice we have recently introduced a new addition to our fleet Bessie a modern van specifically for certain corporate events which call for a modern van. This contemporary vehicle is equipped with a modern range fryer and will be able to cover long distances effortlessly, allowing us to continue to cater for clients even in far-flung locations! The decision to invest in this high-tech van was driven by the desire to preserve our beloved vintage vans, Betty and Beryl who aged 40 and 38 respectively need to do less travelling in order to keep them on the road for as long as we can. Betty and Beryl have been serving up delicious fish and chips for years, becoming icons of The Hungry Plaice's brand. They hold sentimental value that goes beyond their functionality as food trucks and customers had developed an emotional connection with these charming old-fashioned vehicles. Recognising this sentiment, we have decided it was time to protect Betty and Beryl from excessive wear and tear. By introducing the modern van for corporate events, The Hungry Plaice ensures that Betty and Beryl can get some well-deserved rest while still meeting the demands of commercial catering. The advanced features of the new van enhance efficiency making it easier for the business to accommodate large gatherings and operate in distant venues without straining their classic counterparts. Moreover, the modern van allows The Hungry Plaice to expand its reach into previously untapped markets. With its reliability over long distances, the company can now offer its renowned fish and chips experience at various events across different regions, attracting new customers who may have previously been out of range. Despite taking advantage of cutting-edge technology using this new vehicle, The Hungry Plaice remains committed to maintaining its traditional appeal. Betty and Beryl will continue delighting customers at weddings, private and some corporate events keeping alive the nostalgic charm that has become synonymous with The Hungry Plaice experience.  The decision to incorporate a modern van alongside Betty and Beryl represents a balanced approach between preserving tradition and embracing innovation. As we embark on this exciting chapter of expansion The Hungry Plaice remains dedicated to delivering excellence in our services.
