How our wedding fish and chip van works in Newnham Murren
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. We are frequently asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and day-after gatherings, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Newnham Murren, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. 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.

Questions from Newnham Murren
How far is Newnham Murren from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Kinecroft?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Usually most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
