Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 normally the easier option.

Questions from Wildridings
How far is Wildridings from London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can the van come to Wildridings?
We do. Wildridings is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
