Wedding fish and chip van in Weavering, cooked to order
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include coastal-themed receptions and evening food for day and evening guests, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a smaller place like Weavering, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a firm spot and access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What affects the price in Weavering
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in

Allergies and dietary needs

- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Weavering, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
