Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Toddington
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Typical bookings include engagement parties and garden and marquee receptions, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
For a smaller place like Toddington, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a firm spot and access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Toddington
Could you trade in Mewsbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How many portions do we need?
Generally most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Don’t forget your suppliers
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
