Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Telscombe
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. We’re frequently asked to cater coastal-themed receptions and barn weddings, serving curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In Telscombe, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
