Should I sort the food myself?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
A chip van compared with other options
Some venue evening menus are light. Fish and chips fills people up. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.

The process
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Chalfont St Peter, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
