The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. For a summer wedding in Chalfont St Giles, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Chalfont St Giles
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Normally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will check access with you and the venue.

Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
