How our wedding fish and chip van works in Cookham
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. Whether it’s weddings in a marquee or garden and barn weddings, we can cook curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Weddings in a place like Cookham frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- Numbers
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Where the van can park in Cookham
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Cookham
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Evening fish and chips
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Step by step
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Evening food at a Cookham wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
