Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Longcot

There is something special about a country wedding near Longcot, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- No kitchen needed
- Something for guests to gather round
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. At midsummer, sunset in Longcot is about 9:30pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- 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
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Longcot questions
Is Longcot too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Longcot close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Evening food normally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or SN7 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
