About our wedding fish and chip van in High Wycombe
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We’re often asked to cater second-day and after-party food and informal weddings, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In a town like High Wycombe, a church ceremony and a marquee or hall reception is a classic combination. That’s ideal for evening fish and chips: the van parks beside the marquee or in the hall car park. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Why choose a fish and chip van in High Wycombe?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

The process
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. In High Wycombe, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
High Wycombe questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to High Wycombe?
High Wycombe has its own station: High Wycombe station.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
