Wedding fish and chip van for Amport events
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Amport hosts choose us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Hot food handed straight over

Wedding fish and chip van in Amport, fried fresh
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Whether it’s vow renewal parties and seaside-themed weddings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce.
There is something special about a country wedding near Amport, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
