How our wedding fish and chip van works in Winterbrook
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. Whether it is informal weddings and pre-wedding get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Winterbrook, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
A chip van compared with other options
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
- 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
