About our wedding fish and chip van in Studdal
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater day-after gatherings and vow renewal parties.
Rural weddings around Studdal have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Studdal
Can you serve near the sea around Studdal?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Do not forget your suppliers
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
