How our wedding fish and chip van works in Phoenix Green
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. For garden and marquee receptions and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural weddings around Phoenix Green have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
The cost per head typically 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.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the space and the way in
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
