Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A clear quote before you book
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Founthill
How far is Founthill from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Typically most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It generally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wedding. In Founthill, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
