Wedding fish and chip van in Winkfield Row, fried fresh

The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include engagement parties and informal weddings, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.

Near Winkfield Row, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Planning for dietary needs

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Count suppliers working late
  • Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
  • Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
  • Plan bins by the hatch

Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.

Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

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.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

15 questions to ask before you book

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
