Wedding fish and chip van in Grubb Street, cooked to order
Evening food keeps the party going, and fish and chips is generous and warming late in the evening. Typical bookings include weddings with a seaside feel and anniversary celebrations, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Grubb Street often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Winter weddings in Grubb Street are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
