What affects the price in Wargrave
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the parking spot
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
Wedding fish and chip van in Wargrave, fried fresh
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. Typical bookings include vow renewal parties and weddings in a marquee or garden, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Weddings in a place like Wargrave frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Wargrave?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Wargrave
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Wargrave?
The closest is Wargrave station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
How do you handle allergies?

Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
