Fresh fish and chips in Windmill Hill
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Windmill Hill
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings with a seaside feel and barn and farm weddings, with haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Weddings in a place like Windmill Hill often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Let us know about access for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How the day works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Evening food at a Windmill Hill wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the parking spot
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Windmill Hill, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
