About our wedding fish and chip van in Little Hoddington
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. Typical bookings include food after the first dance and barn and farm weddings, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Little Hoddington often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. For a summer wedding in Little Hoddington, 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Questions from Little Hoddington
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Little Hoddington close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you have allergen information?
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.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
