How our wedding fish and chip van works in Bagshot
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. On the menu are haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater engagement parties and food after the first dance.
Rural weddings around Bagshot have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
The process
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Winter weddings in Bagshot are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Bagshot
Is Bagshot close to London?
About 63 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Bagshot too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- The minimum booking
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
