Wedding fish and chip van in Broughton
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Broughton
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. Popular choices include curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for vow renewal parties and second-day and after-party food.
Near Broughton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your wedding. In Broughton, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
