How our wedding fish and chip van works in Baldslow
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s typically somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for pre-wedding get-togethers and seaside-themed weddings.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. 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.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a summer wedding in Baldslow, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
