Fresh fish and chips in Northway
Wedding fish and chip van in Northway, cooked to order
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We are often asked to cater seaside-themed weddings and second-day and after-party food, with curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
In Northway, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
For event organisers in Northway
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Northway
Could you trade in Bury Knowle Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
We are gathering after a service at St Anthony of Padua: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
