Wedding fish and chip van in Botolph Claydon
About our wedding fish and chip van in Botolph Claydon
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is normally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Typical bookings include vow renewal parties and seaside-themed weddings, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
A wedding in a small place like Botolph Claydon 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. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help

- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event

Common questions in Botolph Claydon
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Botolph Claydon close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll fit your running order.
Do you come to Botolph Claydon?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Botolph Claydon and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
