- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Plastow Green
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are often booked for vow renewal parties and wedding after-parties.
Rural weddings around Plastow Green have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

Plastow Green questions
Is Plastow Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Plastow Green close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, sunset in Plastow Green is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
