Wedding fish and chip van in Four Oaks
Wedding fish and chip van in Four Oaks, fried fresh
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. Whether it is garden and marquee receptions and relaxed, informal receptions, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce and more.
Near Four Oaks, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your wedding in Four Oaks. In Four Oaks, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Put bins near the van
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
