Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Bishop's Green
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for barn weddings and marquee and garden weddings.
Near Bishop's Green, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: 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 handed over as soon as it is ready.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing sits out drying up. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
Why Bishop's Green hosts choose us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
