How it works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. Evening food at a Lower Arncott wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.

Questions from Lower Arncott
Is Lower Arncott close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Lower Arncott?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.

Organising for someone else?
