Wedding fish and chip van in Clifton Hampden
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Plan bins by the hatch
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, 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 the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. At a December wedding in Clifton Hampden, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
