Wedding fish and chip van in Hannington, fried fresh
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include second-day and after-party food and garden and marquee receptions, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Near Hannington, weddings are frequently 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. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
A chip van compared with other options
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it is a proper hot meal that guests remember. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.

It normally ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
The process
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, sunset in Hannington is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
