Wedding fish and chip van in Chillerton, cooked to order

What else we do in Chillerton
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Chillerton: your questions answered
Is Chillerton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at St. Olave's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
