About our wedding fish and chip van in Clatterford
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. For pre-wedding get-togethers and vow renewals and anniversaries, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Clatterford often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Clatterford questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St. Nicholas in Castro?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Clatterford too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. At midsummer, sunset in Clatterford is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
