Wedding fish and chip van in Priestwood, cooked to order
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We are frequently asked to cater wedding after-parties and garden and marquee receptions, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Weddings in a place like Priestwood often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Let us know about access for the van. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Priestwood: your questions answered
Is Priestwood close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Priestwood?
Bracknell station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What time will you serve?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Will the van be in our photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a Priestwood wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
