- Travel, tolls and road charges

Wedding fish and chip van in Norney, fried fresh
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. Typical bookings include seaside-themed weddings and second-day and after-party food, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Norney often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. For a summer wedding in Norney, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will fit around your first dance and band.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
