Wedding fish and chip van for Lower Higham events
About our wedding fish and chip van in Lower Higham
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and vow renewal parties.
Near Lower Higham, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Put bins near the van
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
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.
