Wedding fish and chip van in Hempton
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Hempton
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. Whether it’s evening food for day and evening guests and day-after gatherings, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Near Hempton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. At midsummer, sunset in Hempton is about 9:30pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
