Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Albury, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Common questions in Albury
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Helen?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Albury close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van come to Albury?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Albury and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Albury?
If you want evening food guests will talk about, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
