Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- Service time
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Wedding fish and chip van in Beacon Hill, cooked to order
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We’re often asked to cater garden and marquee receptions and seaside-themed weddings, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Beacon Hill, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For event organisers in Beacon Hill
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Put bins near the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

How the day works
Service is quick: 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. In Beacon Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

FAQs for Beacon Hill
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Beacon Hill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Do you come to Beacon Hill?
We do. Beacon Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
