About our wedding fish and chip van in West End
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. For garden and marquee receptions and weddings with a seaside feel, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
A wedding in a small place like West End frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the parking spot
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we are ready at the agreed time.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a West End wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
