How our wedding fish and chip van works in South Leigh
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for weddings with a seaside feel and laid-back receptions.
Rural weddings around South Leigh 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: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
