What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Christmas Pie
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Whether it’s wedding after-parties and barn weddings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural weddings around Christmas Pie have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What you get with us

- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag coeliac guests early

It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests generally gather round the hatch once service starts. At midsummer, sunset in Christmas Pie is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

Common questions in Christmas Pie
Is Christmas Pie close to London?
About 31 miles from central London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Bartholomew: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Christmas Pie?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you come to Christmas Pie?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Christmas Pie. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
