About our wedding fish and chip van in Chesham
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We are frequently asked to cater vow renewals and anniversaries and barn weddings, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
A wedding in Chesham might mean a ceremony at a local church followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That is ideal for evening fish and chips: we park close to the reception. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In Chesham, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is 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.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Count suppliers working late
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
