Wedding fish and chip van in Bowlhead Green
Wedding fish and chip van in Bowlhead Green, fried fresh
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for wedding after-parties and barn and farm weddings.
Rural weddings around Bowlhead Green have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Common questions in Bowlhead Green
Is Bowlhead Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can the van come to Bowlhead Green?
We do. We serve events in Bowlhead Green and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will fit around your first dance and band.
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.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
