If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

For event organisers in Bisley
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Put bins near the van
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Bisley questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Bisley and West End Commons?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
