Wedding fish and chip van in Lambourn, fried fresh
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. Whether it is food after the first dance and marquee and garden weddings, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
For a smaller place like Lambourn, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a firm spot and access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

FAQs for Lambourn
How far is Lambourn from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van come to Lambourn?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Lambourn. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
For event organisers in Lambourn
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a summer wedding in Lambourn, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Ensure the van can get in
