There’s something special about a country wedding near Round Street, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

What else we do in Round Street
Takeaway run or book a 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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Where the van can park in Round Street
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
