About our wedding fish and chip van in Whiteleaf
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. For day-after gatherings and garden and marquee receptions, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Whiteleaf often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Common questions in Whiteleaf
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Dunstan: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It normally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.

How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Winter weddings in Whiteleaf are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
