A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Take a look at our prices page or our guide to van hire costs.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Denham, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Common questions in Denham
What’s the nearest station to Denham?
The closest is Denham station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you park near the barn?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
Can the van come to Denham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Denham. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will fit around your first dance and band.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
