Wedding fish and chip van in Burntcommon, cooked to order
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. On the menu are cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for barn weddings and coastal-themed receptions.
Rural weddings around Burntcommon have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. For a summer wedding in Burntcommon, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
