Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Olney
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include pre-wedding get-togethers and relaxed, informal receptions, serving curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Weddings in a place like Olney often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Let us know about access for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Olney
Is Olney close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of Saints Peter and Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Olney, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers

Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
