Wedding fish and chip van in Cippenham
For event organisers in Cippenham
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Cippenham
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. For marquee and garden weddings and coastal-themed receptions, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce and more.
Weddings in a place like Cippenham often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Let us know about access for the van. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
