About our wedding fish and chip van in Astwood
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. Whether it is informal weddings and evening food for day and evening guests, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
A wedding in a small place like Astwood often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a summer wedding in Astwood, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Common questions in Astwood
How far is Astwood from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you cover Astwood?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Astwood and the rest of Milton Keynes. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
