How our wedding fish and chip van works in Wartling
We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We are frequently asked to cater rustic farm weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Near Wartling, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Wartling?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A clear quote before booking
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Should I sort the food myself?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
