Wedding fish and chip van in Hound Green, fried fresh
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We’re frequently asked to cater food after the first dance and day-after gatherings, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
A wedding in a small place like Hound Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Evening food typically goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Where the van can park in Hound Green
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
Step by step
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Evening food at a Hound Green wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
How to get a price
