Wedding fish and chip van in West Langdon, fried fresh
Couples love the relaxed feel: guests in their wedding best queuing for fish and chips makes for memorable photos. For weddings in a marquee or garden and weddings with a seaside feel, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce and more.
A wedding in a small place like West Langdon 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. 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.

Common questions in West Langdon
Do you come out to small places like West Langdon?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to West Langdon?
Martin Mill station, about 1.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How many portions do we need?
Usually most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
What time will you serve?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
