Wedding fish and chip van for Chapel Row events
Wedding fish and chip van in Chapel Row, cooked to order
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Whether it’s barn weddings and marquee and garden weddings, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
Rural weddings around Chapel Row have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Golden-hour photos in Chapel Row at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
