How our wedding fish and chip van works in Parslow's Hillock

Common questions in Parslow's Hillock
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Parslow's Hillock?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cover Parslow's Hillock?
Yes, we do. Parslow's Hillock is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
When should evening food go out?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What you get with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Classic food your guests already know
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Service time
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- A picture of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

Questions to ask before booking
- If the price includes VAT
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- Payment terms and deposit
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Golden-hour photos in Parslow's Hillock at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
