Wedding fish and chip van in Felderland, fried fresh

There’s something special about a country wedding near Felderland, 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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count suppliers working late
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
