Wedding fish and chip van in Walhampton
Wedding fish and chip van in Walhampton, cooked to order
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it is most welcome. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for engagement parties and relaxed, informal receptions.
Rural weddings around Walhampton have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Do you take everything away?

How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
