Wedding fish and chip van for Hyde End events
About our wedding fish and chip van in Hyde End
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for marquee and garden weddings and barn weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Hyde End often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Common questions in Hyde End
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Hyde End too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.
