Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Allhallows
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater laid-back receptions and coastal-themed receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Allhallows often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
Evening food normally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 usually simpler.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about

Why choose a fish and chip van in Allhallows?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
