About our wedding fish and chip van in Wildmoor
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for marquee and garden weddings and informal weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Wildmoor, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Winter weddings in Wildmoor are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

Wildmoor: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St. Leonard?
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.
Is Wildmoor too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Will the van be in our photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal that guests remember. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
