Why choose a fish and chip van in Binsted?
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they don’t, or at home. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wake is.

- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Classic food your guests already know
- Quick service from the hatch
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In summer, a wake in Binsted has light until about 9:20pm, but in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
