About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Winter weddings in Hawridge are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.

What affects the price in Hawridge
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Hawridge: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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. Send us the address.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
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 will plan service around it.
Will the van be in our photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
