Twyford weddings: local tips
Twyford is about 2 miles north-east of Woodley, in Wokingham. Twyford is well within our area, so your wedding just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Twyford is one of 35 places in Wokingham where we bring the van.
After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Mary, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in. Loddon Nature Reserve can make a pretty photo stop, but check its rules for wedding groups first.
We serve weddings across RG10 and the streets around it. Whether your wedding is on Station Road, High Street and London Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. For weddings just outside Twyford, we cover Ruscombe (1 mile north-east), Charvil (1 mile west), Whistley Green (1 mile south), Hare Hatch (1 mile north-east) and Hurst (2 miles south).

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Twyford at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

What else we do in Twyford
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Twyford questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Loddon Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What time is best for the van?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will fit your running order.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Wokingham. See all areas.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
