About our wedding fish and chip van in Moorstock
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and barn weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Moorstock often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. At midsummer, sunset in Moorstock is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Make sure the van can get in

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
