Take a look at our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 generally simpler.

About the food
Mushy peas

Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. For a summer wedding in Lake End, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
