Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Haddenham
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, sunset in Haddenham is about 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
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.
