Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Boars Hill
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s usually somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Typical bookings include vow renewal parties and day-after gatherings, with cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Boars Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
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.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
Questions from Boars Hill
Is Boars Hill close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Boars Hill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.

Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
