About our wedding fish and chip van in Ningwood
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We’re often asked to cater informal weddings and marquee and garden weddings, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Ningwood often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Ningwood: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Ningwood?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Ningwood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
