A chip van near Godden Green
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Godden Green
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. For marquee and garden weddings and barn weddings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural weddings around Godden Green have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wedding in Godden Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
