Fresh fish and chips in Dunn Street
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Dunn Street
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. We’re often asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and informal weddings, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
A wedding in a small place like Dunn Street often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Perfect for your wedding in Dunn Street
It’s ideal for outdoor and rustic weddings, where the van can park near the party.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Barn and farm weddings
- Engagement celebrations
- Anniversary celebrations
- Food after the first dance
If you’re marrying at a church near Dunn Street, such as Church of St Peter, and holding the reception nearby, the van can serve evening food there.

Dunn Street questions
Could you trade in South Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Dunn Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What time is best for the van?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll fit your running order.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For event organisers in Dunn Street
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

- Collect allergies with your RSVPs

- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Flag coeliac guests early
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
