What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your wedding in Mud Row. Evening food at a Mud Row wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

About our wedding fish and chip van in Mud Row
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. We are frequently asked to cater weddings with a seaside feel and evening wedding food, with cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Mud Row, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

What else we do in Mud Row
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Mud Row questions
Is Mud Row too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will fit your running order.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
