Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Hickmans Green
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for barn weddings and coastal-themed receptions.
Rural weddings around Hickmans Green have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

- Allergies and diets you know about

Questions from Hickmans Green
Is Hickmans Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at St Barnabas?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
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 and we’ll reply with a price.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
Can the van come to Hickmans Green?
We do. Hickmans Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
