DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Winter weddings in Lillingstone Lovell 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 9:30pm.
- Contact us 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.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- The number of meals
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Common questions in Lillingstone Lovell
Is Lillingstone Lovell close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
