How our wedding fish and chip van works in Thorney
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. Typical bookings include pre-wedding get-togethers and garden and marquee receptions, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Near Thorney, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
