Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Ramsden
Couples love the relaxed feel: dresses, suits and paper portions of chips makes for memorable photos. On the menu are haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for evening wedding food and second-day and after-party food.
A wedding in a small place like Ramsden often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
