DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Clanville
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Popular choices include curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for vow renewal parties and day-after gatherings.
Rural weddings around Clanville have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
