- Evening fish and chips

About our wedding fish and chip van in Hassell Street
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. On the menu are curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for engagement parties and weddings with a seaside feel.
Rural weddings around Hassell Street 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 bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
For event organisers in Hassell Street
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal that guests remember. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Something for guests to gather round
- A menu almost everyone likes
What happens on the day
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding in Hassell Street. Winter weddings in Hassell Street are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Count suppliers working late
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Hassell Street
Which station is closest to Hassell Street?
Wye station, about 2.7 miles west of the centre.
Is Hassell Street close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
When should evening food go out?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
