Wedding fish and chip van for Chicheley events
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

Chicheley: your questions answered
How far is Chicheley from London?
About 49 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Chicheley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Some venue evening menus are light. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In Chicheley, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Chicheley

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Getting married in Chicheley?
Chicheley is about 2 miles north-east of Newport Pagnell, in Milton Keynes. We serve weddings at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Chicheley and the surrounding area. We take the van to all 73 towns and villages across Milton Keynes, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Chicheley to Milton Keynes (about 6 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Linford Manor (3.9 miles south-west) and Turvey Abbey (4.8 miles north-east). Grand venues like these usually set rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking. Marrying at Church of St Lawrence? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening.
This part of Milton Keynes takes in MK16. From Newport Road, Bedlam Lane and Hall Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there.

Within a short drive, we also cover Milton Keynes (6 miles south-west), Bletchley (8 miles south), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (8 miles south), Furzton (8 miles south-west), Whitehouse (7 miles south-west) and Middleton (4 miles south).

- Local pubs include The Chester Arms (under half a mile north-west)
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
