Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Britwell
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is usually somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. For barn weddings and weddings in a marquee or garden, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
A farm or garden wedding near Britwell suits a chip van. We need level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Common questions in Britwell
We are 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 typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Britwell close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. It is our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Do you cover Britwell?

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Count suppliers working late
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
