Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Forty Green

There is something special about a country wedding near Forty Green, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Forty Green questions
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 follow the site rules.
Is Forty Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. See all areas.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Evening food generally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Where the van can park in Forty Green
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your wedding. Winter weddings in Forty Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Make sure the van can get in
