How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It generally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Wolverton Common
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is normally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. For laid-back receptions and weddings with a seaside feel, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Wolverton Common frequently 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Winter weddings in Wolverton Common are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
