How our wedding fish and chip van works in Sulham
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Typical bookings include weddings in a marquee or garden and relaxed, informal receptions, with cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Sulham, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Golden-hour photos in Sulham at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Sulham
Which station is closest to Sulham?
Pangbourne station, about 1.4 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Sulham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
