About our wedding fish and chip van in Joyden's Wood
We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are often booked for vow renewals and anniversaries and rustic farm weddings.
For a wedding in Joyden's Wood, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Joyden's Wood?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Joyden's Wood is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
