FAQs for Great Horwood
Is Great Horwood too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St James?
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 time will you serve?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Do you come to Great Horwood?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Great Horwood and the rest of Milton Keynes. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Put bins near the van
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Where the van can park in Great Horwood
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
A chip van compared with other options
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
