How our wedding fish and chip van works in Pearson's Green
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Typical bookings include barn and farm weddings and engagement parties, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Pearson's Green 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. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Winter weddings in Pearson's Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
