Wedding fish and chip van in Old Warren, fried fresh
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. For rustic farm weddings and second-day and after-party food, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
Rural weddings around Old Warren have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Evening food at a Old Warren wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Common questions in Old Warren
Is Old Warren close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Old Warren too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. It is our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What time is best for the van?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
