Wedding fish and chip van in Shenley, cooked to order
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. On the menu are cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for anniversary celebrations and second-day and after-party food.
A wedding in a small place like Shenley often means a field, a barn or a family garden. 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 the queue keeps moving.

How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat.

- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
Evening food generally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
Shenley: your questions answered
Is Shenley close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at St. Mary's Church?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
