A chip van near Emberton
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Emberton
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater seaside-themed weddings and engagement parties.
Near Emberton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How the day works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Golden-hour photos in Emberton at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
A chip van compared with other options
