Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Exton
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. Whether it is anniversary celebrations and second-day and after-party food, we can cook curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Near Exton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions.

Do you bring everything you need?

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Do not forget your suppliers
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For a summer wedding in Exton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
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 nobody has to miss the wedding.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
