Wedding fish and chip van in Flackley Ash, cooked to order
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and vow renewal parties.
Near Flackley Ash, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. At midsummer, sunset in Flackley Ash is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time

For event organisers in Flackley Ash
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
