How our wedding fish and chip van works in Mickleham

Rural weddings around Mickleham 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. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Mickleham?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. 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.

Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Evening food at a Mickleham wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Put bins near the van
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your guests
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
