Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At a December wedding in Finmere, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

FAQs for Finmere
Is Finmere too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Finmere from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
For event organisers in Finmere
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Evening food typically goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
