Wedding fish and chip van for Preston Crowmarsh events
Wedding fish and chip van in Preston Crowmarsh, fried fresh
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We are often asked to cater coastal-themed receptions and garden and marquee receptions, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Preston Crowmarsh, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. 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 keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. At a December wedding in Preston Crowmarsh, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about

- Anything awkward about the way in

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Questions from Preston Crowmarsh
How far is Preston Crowmarsh from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Howbery Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you do anything other than fish?

Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Evening food generally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
- 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
