Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Tyringham
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. We serve sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater engagement parties and marquee and garden weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Tyringham, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put bins near the van
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. In Tyringham, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
