Wedding fish and chip van for Wexham Court events
Wedding fish and chip van in Wexham Court, cooked to order
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s often a yard or track close to the party. On the menu are cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and rustic farm weddings.
Near Wexham Court, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Common questions in Wexham Court
Which station is closest to Wexham Court?
The closest is Slough station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It usually ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How many portions do we need?
Normally most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
