About our wedding fish and chip van in Broughton
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. We’re often asked to cater relaxed, informal receptions and vow renewals and anniversaries, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Rural weddings around Broughton have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
A chip van compared with other options
For evening food with a bit of fun, a fish and chip van is a great choice at a wedding in Broughton. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- Everything cooked to order at your event

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Where the van can park in Broughton
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Count suppliers working late
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wedding. At midsummer, sunset in Broughton is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
