Wedding fish and chip van in Curbridge, fried fresh
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. For second-day and after-party food and marquee and garden weddings, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.

Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Curbridge questions
Do you come out to small places like Curbridge?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
