About our wedding fish and chip van in Wormshill
Couples love the relaxed feel: dresses, suits and paper portions of chips makes for great photos. For laid-back receptions and garden and marquee receptions, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Rural weddings around Wormshill have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Count suppliers working late
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.

That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Winter weddings in Wormshill are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.

- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
