Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Sunnymead
We are gathering after a service at Roman Catholic Church of St Gregory and St Augustine: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Sunnymead?
The closest is Oxford Parkway station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In Sunnymead, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
