Wedding fish and chip van for Moorhouse Bank events
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Moorhouse Bank
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We are often asked to cater food after the first dance and barn weddings, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
In Moorhouse Bank, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Do not forget your suppliers
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have plenty of guests.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. For a summer wedding in Moorhouse Bank, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
