Common questions in Woburn
How far is Woburn from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Old Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What time will you serve?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will work to your timings.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the parking spot
- The venue or postcode
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
