Wedding fish and chip van for Perry events
Wedding fish and chip van in Perry, fried fresh
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. For food after the first dance and weddings with a seaside feel, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Perry often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, sunset in Perry is about 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
