We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater rustic farm weddings and vow renewal parties.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Enslow, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of meals
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
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.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Evening food at a Enslow wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. Fish and chips fills people up. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Questions from Enslow
Can you serve after a service at Church of Holy Cross?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Enslow?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you come to Enslow?
Yes, we do. Enslow is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
