A chip van near Cumnor
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Cumnor
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. We’re often asked to cater coastal-themed receptions and wedding after-parties, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Cumnor, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
For event organisers in Cumnor
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.
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’ll confirm what we can provide.

What else we do in Cumnor
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Cumnor, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Clear the route for the van
How to get a price
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.
