Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Longworth
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. On the menu are curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries.
Near Longworth, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Winter weddings in Longworth are dark by about 4:00pm, 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.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Count suppliers working late
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

Longworth questions
Do you come out to small places like Longworth?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can the van come to Longworth?
We do. Longworth is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
What affects the price in Longworth
These are the factors that matter most:
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
