Wedding fish and chip van in Great Hollands, cooked to order
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Typical bookings include wedding after-parties and marquee and garden weddings, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
A farm or garden wedding near Great Hollands suits a chip van. We need level, firm ground and a way in. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Put bins near the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Golden-hour photos in Great Hollands at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Events in Great Hollands and across Bracknell Forest
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Great Hollands questions
Which station is closest to Great Hollands?
Bracknell station, about 1.3 miles north-east of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church: can you come?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Great Hollands.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you cover Great Hollands?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Great Hollands and the rest of Bracknell Forest. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
