About our wedding fish and chip van in North Looe
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. Whether it’s weddings with a seaside feel and relaxed, informal receptions, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Rural weddings around North Looe 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 bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Who books wedding fish and chip van in North Looe?

Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In North Looe, people book us for events such as:

How it works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, sunset in North Looe is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

How to prepare

What else we do in North Looe
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease

North Looe questions
Is North Looe too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to North Looe?
We do. North Looe is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Service time
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A spot near your guests
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
