About our wedding fish and chip van in Flexford
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for engagement parties and vow renewals and anniversaries.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Flexford, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
FAQs for Flexford
Is Flexford close to London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Bartholomew?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Usually most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
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.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
