Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. At a December wedding in Mongewell, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

For event organisers in Mongewell
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Put bins near the van
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

Questions from Mongewell
Is Mongewell 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.
Can the van park in Kinecroft?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Access and parking
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the parking spot
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
