Fresh fish and chips in Vernham Street
About our wedding fish and chip van in Vernham Street
Evening food keeps the party going, and fish and chips is generous and warming after a long day. For food after the first dance and engagement celebrations, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Vernham Street, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count suppliers working late
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
For event organisers in Vernham Street
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, sunset in Vernham Street is about 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Vernham Street?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Classic food your guests already know

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Common questions in Vernham Street
Is Vernham Street close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
