With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Bishopstone
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for rustic farm weddings and anniversary celebrations.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Bishopstone, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
