How our wedding fish and chip van works in Kingston by Sea
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater engagement parties and weddings with a seaside feel.
Weddings in a place like Kingston by Sea frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Kingston by Sea?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- A menu almost everyone likes
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
