Fresh fish and chips in West Green
About our wedding fish and chip van in West Green
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s often a yard or track close to the party. Typical bookings include laid-back receptions and vow renewal parties, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
A wedding in a small place like West Green 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. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Evening food at a West Green wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Is West Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
