Wedding fish and chip van in Lower Green
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. For a summer wedding in Lower Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- 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
- Share the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Clear the route for the van

Each quote is put together for your wedding. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.

Wedding fish and chip van in Lower Green, fried fresh
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Whether it is engagement parties and evening wedding food, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Lower Green, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Common questions in Lower Green
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Lower Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
When should evening food go out?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll work to your timings.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put bins near the van
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Service time
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the space and the way in

A chip van compared with other options
