Wedding fish and chip van in Bovingdon Green, cooked to order
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for wedding after-parties and informal weddings.
Near Bovingdon Green, 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. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For evening food with a bit of fun, a chip van is hard to beat at a wedding in Bovingdon Green. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

- Events in Bovingdon Green and across Buckinghamshire

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Bovingdon Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
- 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
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Bovingdon Green
Is Bovingdon Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Congregational Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Typically most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
