How our wedding fish and chip van works in Frieth
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. We’re often asked to cater coastal-themed receptions and wedding after-parties, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Rural weddings around Frieth have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Frieth questions
Is Frieth too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What comes out of the fryer
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 goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving.

Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
