About our wedding fish and chip van in Whitewood
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s generally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Typical bookings include second-day and after-party food and vow renewals and anniversaries, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Whitewood, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Whitewood?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
