How our wedding fish and chip van works in Upper Bush
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Whether it’s pre-wedding get-togethers and informal weddings, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Upper Bush, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. At midsummer, sunset in Upper Bush is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
