Step by step
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At a December wedding in Ascot, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why Ascot hosts choose us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Common questions in Ascot
Could you trade in Silwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Ascot?
Ascot station, in Ascot itself.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Do you come to Ascot?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Ascot is within our area and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
