About our wedding fish and chip van in Hall's Green
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include marquee and garden weddings and evening wedding food, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Rural weddings around Hall's Green have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
