About our wedding fish and chip van in Loudwater

A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is usually somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater evening food for day and evening guests and day-after gatherings.

In Loudwater, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Allergies and dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Make sure we have someone to call on the day
Talk to us about evening numbers

Evening food usually goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.

A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

How it works

We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter weddings in Loudwater are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.

You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.

Loudwater questions

We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

What’s the nearest station to Loudwater?

Bourne End station, about 2.2 miles south of the centre.

What does it cost to hire the van?

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

How fast is service?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

How much space do you need?

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

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.

Does every evening guest need to eat?

It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Loudwater?

Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
