Wedding fish and chip van in Chislet, fried fresh
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. For weddings in a marquee or garden and seaside-themed weddings, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Chislet frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

What happens on the day
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Chislet, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
