About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Common questions in East Garston
How far is East Garston from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is East Garston too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, West Berkshire included. Find your area.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it is a proper hot meal that guests remember. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
