About our wedding fish and chip van in Postcombe
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for wedding after-parties and anniversary celebrations.
A wedding in a small place like Postcombe 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

Common questions in Postcombe
Do you come out to small places like Postcombe?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Postcombe close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
