Why choose a fish and chip van in Brightwalton?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What happens on the day
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For a summer wedding in Brightwalton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

Common questions in Brightwalton
Is Brightwalton 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.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you park near the barn?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
- How far we travel
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
