Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Wedding fish and chip van in Upper Chute, cooked to order
We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding after-parties and food after the first dance, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Upper Chute frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

What else we do in Upper Chute
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Plan bins by the hatch
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Upper Chute
Is Upper Chute close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
