Wedding fish and chip van in Lower Green
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Lower Green
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Typical bookings include evening food for day and evening guests and anniversary celebrations, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Rural weddings around Lower Green have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Lower Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Lower Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Lower Green?
Kintbury station, about 2.4 miles north-east of the centre.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Within reach of Lower Green are historic houses such as Stargroves (4.1 miles south-east). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and vehicles. Marrying at Church of St Michael? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple

Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For event organisers in Lower Green
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
