FAQs for Mayford
Is Mayford close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Mayford Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What time will you serve?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll work to your timings.
Do you cover Mayford?
We do. Mayford is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Mayford?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
