About our wedding fish and chip van in Denton

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or OX44 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing sits out drying up. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen needed
- No surprises in your quote

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For a summer wedding in Denton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
