Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Fleet Marston
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
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.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
