Fresh fish and chips in Chesham Bois
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Wedding fish and chip van in Chesham Bois, fried fresh
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is typically somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We are frequently asked to cater second-day and after-party food and coastal-themed receptions, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In Chesham Bois, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Questions from Chesham Bois
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Chesham Bois, 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.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
