Wedding fish and chip van in Wheatley, fried fresh
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Popular choices include sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for weddings with a seaside feel and day-after gatherings.
Weddings in a place like Wheatley frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Wheatley questions
How far is Wheatley from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van come to Wheatley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Wheatley. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your wedding. Evening food at a Wheatley wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
