About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. For a summer wedding in Forty Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- We cover Forty Green and the whole of Buckinghamshire
- No kitchen needed
- Hot food handed straight over
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
