About our wedding fish and chip van in Tingewick
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. Typical bookings include weddings with a seaside feel and garden and marquee receptions, with mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Tingewick 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. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

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’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. In Tingewick, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day

Tingewick questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalen: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Tingewick close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
