Lamport is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Lamport to Milton Keynes (10 miles away).
If you are hoping for photos in Stowe Park and Garden, check whether the park needs permission for photography or gatherings. If you want countryside in your photos, Buckingham Sand Pit is not far, and the countryside around Lamport suits an outdoor reception.

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Lamport
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for second-day and after-party food and rustic farm weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Lamport, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
FAQs for Lamport
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary: 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.
Do you come out to small places like Lamport?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
Can the van come to Lamport?
Yes, we do. Lamport is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan bins by the hatch
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace. In Lamport, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- We cover Lamport and the whole of Buckinghamshire

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
