How our wedding fish and chip van works in Redford
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We’re frequently asked to cater coastal-themed receptions and barn weddings, with curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Redford often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Questions from Redford
Do you come out to small places like Redford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Redford from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Can the van come to Redford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Redford is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will fit around your first dance and band.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
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’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

Where the van can park in Redford

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Flag coeliac guests early
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In Redford, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive

- Name one person we can call on the day
How to get a price

A chip van compared with other options
Some venue evening menus are light. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Hot food handed straight over
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
- 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
