How our wedding fish and chip van works in Sunningwell
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. Typical bookings include barn weddings and engagement parties, with mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Sunningwell frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. Evening food at a Sunningwell wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
