How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. In Burcott, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

Burcott: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Burcott?
Aylesbury station, about 1.9 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A fish and chip van or other catering?

- The address or venue name

Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
- 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
