About our wedding fish and chip van in Lyde Green
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Whether it is anniversary celebrations and pre-wedding get-togethers, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas and more.
Near Lyde Green, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Lyde Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Lyde Green questions
How far is Lyde Green from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Lyde Green?
Hook station, about 2.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Typically most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
On the menu in Lyde Green
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Evening fish and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
