About our wedding fish and chip van in Kingsey
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Whether it’s vow renewal parties and evening wedding food, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Kingsey, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. In Kingsey, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why Kingsey hosts choose us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Classic food your guests already know
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Something for guests to gather round
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
