Wedding fish and chip van in St. Ebbes, fried fresh
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We are frequently asked to cater barn and farm weddings and garden and marquee receptions, with cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
A farm or garden wedding near St. Ebbes suits a chip van. We need level, firm ground and a way in. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. At a December wedding in St. Ebbes, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
