Wedding fish and chip van in Lucas Green
About our wedding fish and chip van in Lucas Green
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Typical bookings include marquee and garden weddings and coastal-themed receptions, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Rural weddings around Lucas Green have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book our van in Lucas Green

Questions from Lucas Green
Do you come out to small places like Lucas Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park in Bisley and West End Commons?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
