A chip van near Egypt
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Egypt
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater day-after gatherings and marquee and garden weddings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Egypt, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Egypt questions
Is Egypt close to London?
About 58 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Ebenezer Methodist Chapel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a photo of the spot.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
The process
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Winter weddings in Egypt are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

What else we do in Egypt
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why Egypt hosts choose us
- No kitchen needed
- All the chip-shop extras
- A clear quote before you book
- Rain does not stop the fryers
