Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Dedworth
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it is most welcome. Whether it is barn and farm weddings and food after the first dance, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
In Dedworth, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Evening food at a Dedworth wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Questions from Dedworth
Can you serve after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Dedworth close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What time is best for the van?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
