Wedding fish and chip van in Shottesbrooke, cooked to order
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversary celebrations and evening food for day and evening guests.
Rural weddings around Shottesbrooke have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What affects the price in Shottesbrooke
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space and the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Shottesbrooke
Is Shottesbrooke close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Shottesbrooke?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How many portions do we need?
Generally most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. It is our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
What time will you serve?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.

How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. Winter weddings in Shottesbrooke are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Tell us when you want to eat
