A chip van near Pell Green
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Pell Green
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and day-after gatherings, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Near Pell Green, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
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.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the space and the way in
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
