How our wedding fish and chip van works in East Farleigh
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater second-day and after-party food and laid-back receptions.
Near East Farleigh, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help

- Where the event is
