Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Barton on Sea
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. For vow renewals and anniversaries and seaside-themed weddings, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips and more.
Weddings in a place like Barton on Sea often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
