A chip van compared with other options
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

About our wedding fish and chip van in Wallend
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Typical bookings include barn weddings and informal weddings, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Near Wallend, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.

For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Service time
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Wallend
Is Wallend too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Wallend close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
