How our wedding fish and chip van works in Wiston
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for laid-back receptions and engagement parties.
A wedding in a small place like Wiston frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Evening food generally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Wiston questions
Is Wiston close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Wiston?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it is a proper hot meal that guests remember. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
