Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in South Street
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for rustic farm weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries.
Near South Street, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

What time will you serve?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will work to your timings.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Normally most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
