A chip van near Pittswood
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Pittswood
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. On the menu are curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for evening food for day and evening guests and marquee and garden weddings.
Near Pittswood, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Which station is closest to Pittswood?

Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
The cost per head usually 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
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
