How our wedding fish and chip van works in Kings Worthy
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. For evening wedding food and barn and farm weddings, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Kings Worthy often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, sunset in Kings Worthy is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.

What affects the price in Kings Worthy
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- Access and parking
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 typically simpler.
