Wedding fish and chip van in Horseport, cooked to order
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Typical bookings include laid-back receptions and marquee and garden weddings, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Horseport often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the parking spot
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, the address or SP6 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At a December wedding in Horseport, it’s dark by about 4:05pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
