How our wedding fish and chip van works in Ware
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. On the menu are mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for barn weddings and engagement parties.
Near Ware, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Ware, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Why choose a fish and chip van in Ware?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What you get with us
- No surprises in your quote
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.

Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Count suppliers working late
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Plan bins by the hatch
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
What the van needs

- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Organising a club, school or community event in Ware? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
