Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Whitmoor Vale
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. For food after the first dance and marquee and garden weddings, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural weddings around Whitmoor Vale have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. In Whitmoor Vale, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, 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 4:00pm.
- Tell us what you are 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, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Other occasions in Whitmoor Vale
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
