Fresh fish and chips in Grazeley
Wedding fish and chip van in Grazeley, fried fresh
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. We are often asked to cater day-after gatherings and vow renewals and anniversaries, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Near Grazeley, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

Questions from Grazeley
Which station is closest to Grazeley?
The closest is Reading Green Park station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Grazeley, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm 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 photo 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van
