The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. At midsummer, sunset in Weddington is about 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Wedding fish and chip van in Weddington, fried fresh
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for engagement parties and weddings in a marquee or garden.
A wedding in a small place like Weddington frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Weddington? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card

- Have bins ready for paper and trays
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
