Wedding fish and chip van in Oving
The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. At a December wedding in Oving, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
