Wedding fish and chip van in Water Eaton
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Water Eaton
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. For weddings with a seaside feel and anniversary celebrations, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce and more.
For a smaller place like Water Eaton, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a firm spot and access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

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. At midsummer, sunset in Water Eaton is about 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
