Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Marlow Bottom
Is Marlow Bottom too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Marlow Bottom from London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A quote that spells everything out
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A van that becomes part of the event

How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Evening food at a Marlow Bottom wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
What comes out of the fryer

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
