About our wedding fish and chip van in Pitchcott
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. We’re often asked to cater anniversary celebrations and evening food for day and evening guests, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural weddings around Pitchcott 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. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
FAQs for Pitchcott
What’s the nearest station to Pitchcott?
The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Is Pitchcott close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Step by step
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Pitchcott, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
