Wedding fish and chip van in Wooburn, fried fresh

Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Wooburn, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.

Common questions in Wooburn
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Paul: can you come?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Wooburn close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What affects the price in Wooburn
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Numbers
