Fresh fish and chips in Puttenham
Wedding fish and chip van in Puttenham, cooked to order
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Whether it is seaside-themed weddings and garden and marquee receptions, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Puttenham, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Puttenham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day
