Wedding fish and chip van in Bitchet Green, cooked to order
Evening food keeps the party going, and fish and chips is generous and warming after a long day. We serve curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater evening wedding food and laid-back receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Bitchet Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we are ready at the agreed time.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
