Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Owlswick
Is Owlswick close to London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Can you serve after a service at Owlswick Chapel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you park near the barn?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
