Wedding fish and chip van in Langley
About our wedding fish and chip van in Langley
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. We’re often asked to cater vow renewals and anniversaries and relaxed, informal receptions, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural weddings around Langley have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Put bins near the van
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your guests
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
