Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Firgo
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. Typical bookings include barn and farm weddings and evening food for day and evening guests, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
There is something special about a country wedding near Firgo, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Golden-hour photos in Firgo at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Firgo: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Firgo close to London?
About 58 miles from central London.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.

What else we do in Firgo
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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 typically the easier option.
