How our wedding fish and chip van works in Mayes Green
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. We are frequently asked to cater day-after gatherings and marquee and garden weddings, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
There is something special about a country wedding near Mayes Green, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Mayes Green at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- The spot you have in mind for the van

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
Why us?
- Classic food your guests already know
- No surprises in your quote
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

Can’t 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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
