Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Greenham
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is generally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. For wedding after-parties and informal weddings, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Greenham often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 nobody has to miss the wedding.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

For event organisers in Greenham
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In Greenham, evening wedding food often 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.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Make sure the van can get in

Common questions in Greenham
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Greenham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What time will you serve?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
