Typical bookings include weddings with a seaside feel and informal weddings, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
A wedding in a small place like Whistley Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing has been out for hours. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
