How our wedding fish and chip van works in Buckingham
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. We are often asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and relaxed, informal receptions, with curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In a town like Buckingham, a church ceremony and a marquee or hall reception is a classic combination. That suits a chip van perfectly: the van parks beside the marquee or in the hall car park. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Buckingham
Can you serve after a service at St Peter and St Paul?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Buckingham from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
