Wedding fish and chip van for Heaverham events
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Heaverham
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for barn weddings and laid-back receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Heaverham often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
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.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
