About our wedding fish and chip van in Twyford
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. For wedding after-parties and evening wedding food, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Rural weddings around Twyford have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. At midsummer, sunset in Twyford is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
