Wedding fish and chip van in Belmont, cooked to order
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater evening food for day and evening guests and engagement parties.
In Belmont, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Belmont
Can the van park in Howell Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Belmont from London?
About 12 miles from central London.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Plan bins by the hatch
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
