How our wedding fish and chip van works in Grain
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and fish and chips is generous and warming after a long day. For barn weddings and informal weddings, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
A wedding in a small place like Grain frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
A chip van compared with other options
Some venue evening menus are light. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Grain: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Grain from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van come to Grain?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Grain. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Grain
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips

Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evening food at a Grain wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
