Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Sepham Heath
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for garden and marquee receptions and evening food for day and evening guests.
Rural weddings around Sepham Heath 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. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Sepham Heath, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
