Wedding fish and chip van for St Peter's events
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in St Peter's
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s typically somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Whether it’s coastal-themed receptions and second-day and after-party food, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
For a smaller place like St Peter's, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Why choose a fish and chip van in St Peter's?
If you want evening food guests will talk about, a chip van is hard to beat. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book our van in St Peter's
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Something for guests to gather round
- Everything cooked to order at your event
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Put bins near the van
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Questions from St Peter's
Is St Peter's close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce

What happens on the day
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 St Peter's are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
