Wedding fish and chip van in Duns Tew, fried fresh
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. On the menu are curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for pre-wedding get-togethers and evening food for day and evening guests.
Rural weddings around Duns Tew have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
