About our wedding fish and chip van in Eastbury
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. For barn weddings and laid-back receptions, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Rural weddings around Eastbury 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 bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Eastbury? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- Service time
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Common questions in Eastbury
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Will the van be in our photos?
It usually ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
