A chip van near Four Throws
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Four Throws
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Whether it is informal weddings and wedding after-parties, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips and more.
Near Four Throws, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Four Throws: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you trade in Collingwood Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count suppliers working late
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Evening food typically goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
