Wedding fish and chip van for Belbins events
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What you get with us
- A clear quote before booking
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- All the chip-shop extras
- Quick service from the hatch

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Belbins
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and barn and farm weddings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Belbins, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

FAQs for Belbins
Is Belbins close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Belbins too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Will the van be in our photos?
It normally ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can the van come to Belbins?
Yes, we do. Belbins is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. At a December wedding in Belbins, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
