Wedding fish and chip van in Breach, fried fresh
Couples love the relaxed feel: dresses, suits and paper portions of chips makes for memorable photos. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater food after the first dance and seaside-themed weddings.
Near Breach, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.

Other occasions in Breach
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, timed around your wedding. In Breach, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
