How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At a December wedding in Langton Green, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What a fish and chip van costs

- Service time
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
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.

Food your guests will love
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.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
- 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
