Getting married in Ford?
Ford is about 4 miles south-west of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Bookings in Ford come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Ford is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Ford to Oxford (about 15 miles away).
It’s worth telling train travellers that Haddenham & Thame Parkway station is about 2.8 miles away. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Ford, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Check vehicle access with the venue.
This part of Buckinghamshire takes in HP17. Local streets include Linden Way and Chapel Road; a wedding on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Close by, we cover weddings in Dinton (1 mile north-west), Upton (1 mile north), Bishopstone (2 miles east), Owlswick (2 miles south-east) and Sedrup (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also take the van to Aylesbury (4 miles north-east), High Wycombe (11 miles south-east), Chesham (12 miles east), Marlow (15 miles south), Amersham (14 miles south-east) and Beaconsfield (15 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Dinton Castle (1.6 miles north-west) and National Paralympic Heritage Centre (3.7 miles north-east). The countryside around Ford includes Beacon Hill and Snakemoor.
- Local pubs include The Dinton Hermit Public House (less than half a mile north-east)
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What you get with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

- Something for guests to gather round

Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Golden-hour photos in Ford at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
