For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Where the van can park in Maresfield
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Maresfield?
For evening food with a bit of fun, a fish and chip van is a great choice at a wedding in Maresfield. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Questions from Maresfield
Can the van park in West Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
