Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Westcot
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Whether it is engagement parties and laid-back receptions, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Rural weddings around Westcot have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Westcot, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, 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 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you’re 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Put bins near the van
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Westcot: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Rood?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Westcot close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Usually most, not all. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It generally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
