About our wedding fish and chip van in Fisher's Pond
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include barn weddings and second-day and after-party food, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Fisher's Pond frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
