How our wedding fish and chip van works in Amersham
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. For marquee and garden weddings and day-after gatherings, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Couples in Amersham often keep it personal, with a marquee or a local hall. Evening fish and chips suits that kind of day. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. For a summer wedding in Amersham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Make sure the van can get in
