- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Mislingford
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We serve sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and food after the first dance.
Near Mislingford, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
