Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Springvale
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We are frequently asked to cater food after the first dance and marquee and garden weddings, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In Springvale, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Let us know about access for the van. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
