Wedding fish and chip van in Bryant's Bottom

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Bryant's Bottom

Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and fish and chips is generous and warming after a long day. We are frequently asked to cater vow renewal parties and seaside-themed weddings, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.

A wedding in a small place like Bryant's Bottom often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. 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.

Questions from Bryant's Bottom

Can you serve after a service at Speen Church (Baptist)?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

How far is Bryant's Bottom from London?

Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

How many portions do we need?

It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.

How do you handle allergies?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Can you do our evening wedding food?

Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

How much space do you need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

The process

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In Bryant's Bottom, 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Before we arrive

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Plan where the queue will stand

About the food

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Diets, allergies and planning

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Flag coeliac guests early
  • Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
  • Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
  • Count suppliers working late

Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.

Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
