Adgestone: your questions answered
Is Adgestone too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St. John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you cover Adgestone?
Yes, we do. Adgestone is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you park near the barn?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Usually most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What affects the price in Adgestone
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For evening food with a bit of fun, a chip van is hard to beat. 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.
Why book our van in Adgestone
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Hot food handed straight over
- All the chip-shop extras
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
For somewhere as remote as Adgestone, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Adgestone
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips

- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. Evening food at a Adgestone wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Count suppliers working late
- Put bins near the van
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
