Fresh fish and chips in Quainton
Quainton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Quainton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Quainton from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Quainton
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it’s most welcome. For anniversary celebrations and garden and marquee receptions, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Rural weddings around Quainton have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
