About our wedding fish and chip van in Marlow Common
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. For barn weddings and garden and marquee receptions, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Rural weddings around Marlow Common 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. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Marlow Common questions
Is Marlow Common too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Evening food at a Marlow Common wedding frequently 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. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
How to get a price
