Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Home Farm
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. We are often asked to cater anniversary celebrations and coastal-themed receptions, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Rural weddings around Home Farm have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In Home Farm, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
