What affects the price in Apuldram
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Apuldram, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Take a look at our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. In Apuldram, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us a contact for the day

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
