For event organisers in Wick
Organising a club, school or community event in Wick? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Wedding fish and chip van in Wick, fried fresh
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. We’re frequently asked to cater laid-back receptions and garden and marquee receptions, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For a smaller place like Wick, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
Evening food typically goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Wick
Can the van park in Mewsbrook Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Can you serve after a service at All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wedding. Evening food at a Wick wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
