Marrying at Church of St Michael? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening.

Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Calvert
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Calvert close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Can the van come to Calvert?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Calvert and across Buckinghamshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Count suppliers working late
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Calvert?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For a summer wedding in Calvert, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
- 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
