Wedding fish and chip van in Badgers Mount, cooked to order
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for informal weddings and barn and farm weddings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Badgers Mount, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.

What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Badgers Mount, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Don’t forget your suppliers
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
