Wedding fish and chip van in Myrke, fried fresh
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. On the menu are curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for pre-wedding get-togethers and rustic farm weddings.
Rural weddings around Myrke have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. Winter weddings in Myrke are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Some venue evening menus are light. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Common questions in Myrke
Could you trade in Herschel Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Laurence: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Myrke?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
