Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Sheet's Heath
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for food after the first dance and relaxed, informal receptions.
Near Sheet's Heath, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Sheet's Heath
Is Sheet's Heath close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Saint Saviour's Church: 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. Send us the address.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
What time is best for the van?
Typically between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will work to your timings.
Will the van be in our photos?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Typically, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
