Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Ottershaw
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is normally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We’re frequently asked to cater second-day and after-party food and relaxed, informal receptions, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
A farm or garden wedding near Ottershaw suits a chip van. We need level, firm ground and a way in. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Count suppliers working late
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Golden-hour photos in Ottershaw at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- 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 agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Can the van park on grass?

What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
