How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wedding. At midsummer, sunset in Aspley Heath is about 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Common questions in Aspley Heath
We’re gathering after a service at Church of Saint Michael: can you come?
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. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Aspley Heath?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
