How our wedding fish and chip van works in Longwick
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. On the menu are sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and laid-back receptions.
For a smaller place like Longwick, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a firm spot and access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Longwick: your questions answered
Is Longwick close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Longwick?
The closest is Monks Risborough station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Evening food at a Longwick wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
On the menu in Longwick
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
