A chip van near Wolverton
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
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 normally simpler.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Wolverton
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and fish and chips is generous and warming late in the evening. Typical bookings include laid-back receptions and barn weddings, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.

For event organisers in Wolverton

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
