Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Sutton Courtenay
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. Typical bookings include barn weddings and engagement celebrations, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
For a smaller place like Sutton Courtenay, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Takeaway run or book a 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 is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

How the day works

- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready

Questions from Sutton Courtenay
Can you serve after a service at All Saints' 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Sutton Courtenay from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
