How our wedding fish and chip van works in Orchard Leigh
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening food for day and evening guests and pre-wedding get-togethers.
A wedding in a small place like Orchard Leigh frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Orchard Leigh?
Some venue evening menus are light. Fish and chips fills people up. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book our van in Orchard Leigh
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cover Orchard Leigh and the whole of Buckinghamshire
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In Orchard Leigh, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Make sure the van can get in
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
