Wedding fish and chip van in Marlow, fried fresh
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings with a seaside feel and marquee and garden weddings.
A wedding in Marlow might mean a ceremony at a local church followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That is ideal for evening fish and chips: the van parks beside the marquee or in the hall car park. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Other occasions in Marlow
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
