Fresh fish and chips in Weston Green
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Weston Green
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it is most welcome. Typical bookings include vow renewals and anniversaries and engagement celebrations, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Weston Green, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Common questions in Weston Green
What’s the nearest station to Weston Green?
Thames Ditton station, in Weston Green itself.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What time is best for the van?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will fit your running order.
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.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Weston Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we are ready at the agreed time.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

Other occasions in Weston Green
Can’t 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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
