Fresh fish and chips in Coombe
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Coombe
We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. On the menu are curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater anniversary celebrations and wedding after-parties.
Near Coombe, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace. In Coombe, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
