Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Weston

Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. We are frequently asked to cater barn and farm weddings and marquee and garden weddings, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.

A wedding in a small place like Weston 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.

FAQs for Weston

Which station is closest to Weston?

Kintbury station, about 4.3 miles south of the centre.

Is Weston close to London?

About 57 miles from central London, and well within our area.

How long are you on site?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.

Can the van park by the marquee?

That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.

Where the van can park in Weston

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

About the food

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
  • Flag coeliac guests early
  • Plan bins by the hatch

Evening food typically goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.

Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Why book with us

  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear

Take a look at our pricing or our guide to van hire costs.

Takeaway run or book a van?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Working with your venue

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Prices and what affects them

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • How many people are eating
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • The day of the week

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • The date and time of the event
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Roughly how many people, including children

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.

How the day works

Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At a December wedding in Weston, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

How to prepare

  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

How to get a price

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
