About our wedding fish and chip van in Linwood
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Whether it’s seaside-themed weddings and informal weddings, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Linwood often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Put bins near the van
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At a December wedding in Linwood, it is dark by about 4:05pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
