Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Albury questions
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Albury?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to Albury?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Albury. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At a December wedding in Albury, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.

Where the van can park in Albury
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- Access and parking
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Albury? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
