Wedding fish and chip van for Egypt events
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Egypt
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. We’re often asked to cater second-day and after-party food and garden and marquee receptions, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Rural weddings around Egypt have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Winter weddings in Egypt are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.

- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.

Egypt: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Egypt?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you park near the barn?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
Do you cover Egypt?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Egypt. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
