How our wedding fish and chip van works in Upper Eddington
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. We are often asked to cater vow renewal parties and marquee and garden weddings, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
Rural weddings around Upper Eddington 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: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Evening food at a Upper Eddington wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at Hungerford Methodist Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
