How our wedding fish and chip van works in Nyewood
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Whether it’s seaside-themed weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Nyewood frequently 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. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, sunset in Nyewood is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
