Wedding fish and chip van for Riseley events
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Riseley
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening food for day and evening guests and relaxed, informal receptions.
Near Riseley, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Riseley questions
Is Riseley close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Riseley?
Mortimer station, about 3.2 miles west of the centre.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can the van come to Riseley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Riseley. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
