Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in The Mint
We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. For weddings in a marquee or garden and weddings with a seaside feel, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near The Mint, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. Fish and chips fills people up. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
