Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Charndon
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it is most welcome. We serve sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for evening wedding food and vow renewal parties.
A wedding in a small place like Charndon often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Charndon questions
How far is Charndon from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Charndon too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Charndon?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
