Wedding fish and chip van for Donkey Town events
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

It’s relaxed and a little bit fun: guests in their wedding best queuing for fish and chips makes for memorable photos. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for coastal-themed receptions and engagement celebrations.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Donkey Town, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Donkey Town is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Do you come out to small places like Donkey Town?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

About 27 miles from central London.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
