About our wedding fish and chip van in Idbury
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and seaside-themed weddings.
Near Idbury, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
