Wedding fish and chip van in Baybridge, cooked to order

Questions from Baybridge
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Baybridge?
The closest is Shawford station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can the van come to Baybridge?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Baybridge. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your guests
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
