How our wedding fish and chip van works in Bexon
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. We serve mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater vow renewal parties and coastal-themed receptions.
Rural weddings around Bexon have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your wedding. Winter weddings in Bexon are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Bexon questions
Is Bexon close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Could you trade in Cromers Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count suppliers working late
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your wedding, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
