Fresh fish and chips in Weston
Wedding fish and chip van in Weston, cooked to order
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for barn and farm weddings and evening food for day and evening guests.
Weddings in a place like Weston frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Common questions in Weston
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you come?
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 will gather.
How far is Weston from London?
About 70 miles from central London, and well within our area.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. In Weston, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your wedding.

- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
