How our wedding fish and chip van works in Wigginton
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Whether it is second-day and after-party food and pre-wedding get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near Wigginton, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Wigginton, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day

Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
For planners, venues and organisers

Takeaway run or book a 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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
