About our wedding fish and chip van in Marden's Hill
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. Whether it’s coastal-themed receptions and barn weddings, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Near Marden's Hill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count suppliers working late
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Winter weddings in Marden's Hill are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
