Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Foxendown
Is Foxendown close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We will fit around your first dance and band.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Foxendown.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Wedding fish and chip van in Foxendown, cooked to order
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s often a yard or track close to the party. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for engagement parties and wedding after-parties.
Rural weddings around Foxendown have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In Foxendown, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The length of service

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
