Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Maynard's Green
How far is Maynard's Green from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Is Maynard's Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
- 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
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
