Wedding fish and chip van for Asheridge events
The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests generally gather round the hatch once service starts. Evening food at a Asheridge wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Asheridge
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include evening food for day and evening guests and anniversary celebrations, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Asheridge often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

What affects the price in Asheridge
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
The cost per head typically 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.

- Where you’d like the van to go
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put bins near the van
- Count suppliers working late
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
