Near Argos Hill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. In Argos Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event

- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
