How our wedding fish and chip van works in Priestwood Green
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for barn and farm weddings and garden and marquee receptions.
Near Priestwood Green, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Priestwood Green: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of Our Lady of the Meadow: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Priestwood Green from London?
About 22 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

How it works

A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing sits out drying up. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why book our van in Priestwood Green
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Quick service from the hatch
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
