Wedding fish and chip van in Davington
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we will check the date and send a price.
Wedding fish and chip van in Davington, fried fresh
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. For garden and marquee receptions and day-after gatherings, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
A farm or garden wedding near Davington suits a chip van. We need level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Something for guests to gather round
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No surprises in your quote
- All the chip-shop extras

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
A closer look at the menu
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.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. For a summer wedding in Davington, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Davington: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Davington close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Will the van be in our photos?
It usually ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
