Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple

Evening food normally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

FAQs for Great Kingshill
Which station is closest to Great Kingshill?
Great Missenden station, about 2.1 miles north-east of the centre.
How far is Great Kingshill from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
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’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
