Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Great Tew, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Questions from Great Tew
Is Great Tew too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
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 will tell you what we can offer.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Great Tew.
