The menu, dish by dish

For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips

About our wedding fish and chip van in North Leigh
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Whether it’s coastal-themed receptions and wedding after-parties, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas and more.
A wedding in a small place like North Leigh often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In North Leigh, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:30pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
