How our wedding fish and chip van works in Walton Manor
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries.
Weddings in a place like Walton Manor frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
