How our wedding fish and chip van works in Mugswell
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for pre-wedding get-togethers and barn and farm weddings.
Couples in Mugswell often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Mugswell: your questions answered
Can the van park in Eyhurst Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Mugswell?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Will the van be in our photos?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Step by step
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. At a December wedding in Mugswell, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
