Book the van in East Street
Should I sort the food myself?
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? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in East Street
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. We are frequently asked to cater laid-back receptions and weddings with a seaside feel, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
A wedding in a small place like East Street frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In East Street, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
