Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Woolbridge
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. On the menu are curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for coastal-themed receptions and evening wedding food.
Near Woolbridge, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count suppliers working late
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we’re ready at the agreed time.

Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

For event organisers in Woolbridge
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. Golden-hour photos in Woolbridge at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
