About our wedding fish and chip van in Ambrosden
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for garden and marquee receptions and day-after gatherings.
For a smaller place like Ambrosden, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a summer wedding in Ambrosden, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often 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.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Can the van be part of the photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
