Wedding fish and chip van in Worth
About our wedding fish and chip van in Worth
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and fish and chips is generous and warming late in the evening. Whether it is wedding after-parties and relaxed, informal receptions, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce and more.
Near Worth, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Worth, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

The menu, dish by dish
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.
