Wedding fish and chip van for Shenington events
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Shenington
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. We’re often asked to cater engagement parties and food after the first dance, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Shenington often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Where the van can park in Shenington
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Winter weddings in Shenington are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Questions from Shenington
Do you come out to small places like Shenington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
