Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Winter weddings in Little Ickford are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Little Ickford: your questions answered
How far is Little Ickford from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Little Ickford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
