Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. At a December wedding in Shenley Church End, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.

Common questions in Shenley Church End
We are gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Shenley Church End?
Milton Keynes Central station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
