How our wedding fish and chip van works in Aston
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Whether it’s wedding after-parties and marquee and garden weddings, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
Near Aston, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. In Aston, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
