Aylesbury has plenty of wedding venues, from hotels and function rooms to clubs and gardens. A chip van suits a reception with somewhere to park outside. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

FAQs for Aylesbury
What’s the nearest station to Aylesbury?
Aylesbury station, in Aylesbury itself.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
How the day works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, sunset in Aylesbury is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
